A liquid natural gas pipeline exploded near Houston, Texas, causing evacuations of homes and businesses in Deer Park and La Porte. Around 1,000 homes and businesses were affected by evacuation orders, while several schools implemented shelter-in-place protocols. The pipeline, operated by Energy Transfer, erupted into flames after a potential vehicle collision. A firefighter was injured, and some homes were damaged. The pipeline has been shut off, and officials are waiting for the fuel to burn off naturally.
