Pipeline Explosion in Houston Suburb Forces Hundreds to Evacuate Homes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, hundreds of homes remain under evacuation orders in the
Houston suburb of Deer Park, more than two days after an SUV struck a
pipeline valve station, triggering a massive explosion that rattled
homes and businesses, sending a column of fire and smoke into the sky
that was visible more than 10 miles away. The pipeline containing
natural gas liquids burned for a second straight day and into the night
Tuesday.
