On Tuesday, in Sissonville, WV a gas line leak went up in flames on interstate 77. The fire was massive and burned at least four homes along with melting the pavement and guardrails. At least five other houses have external fire damage, but no one was really home on the day of this explosion; many were at work. All the surrounding hillsides and land was on fire, and burned for a while without any let up. Tomblin did have to say that the heat from the explosion was so hot that it actually cooked the pavement and turned it to tar. Accidents happen and I'm glad no one was really hurt. Hopefully the interstate can be cleaned up.
