Pipeline explodes in North Texas; hundreds evacuated - CBS News: "Residents and hundreds of school children in the North Texas city of Milford were evacuated after a 10-inch Chevron natural gas pipeline exploded Thursday morning, CBSDFW.com reports. No injuries were reported and a several mile radius around the pipeline was blocked off as fire crews allowed the fire to burn off.

The Ellis County Sheriff's Office says the explosion occurred about 9:30 a.m. Thursday at a rig near Milford, about 40 miles south of Dallas. Chevron spokesman Justin Higgs says the accident involves a liquefied petroleum gas pipeline."
