Texans head home as gas storage blast cools in Moss Bluff
Hundreds fled as a tower of burning natural gas roared from an underground storage facility in Moss Bluff Texas. The flare dropped from 1000 feet to 300 feet by Saturday and the evacuation area was reduced to one mile allowing 360 residents to return. Duke Energy said cooling would take days before capping the gas. The area holds salt domes with artificial caverns and recalls a 1980 leak near Mont Belvieu that displaced 72 families for months.
