According to Reuters, who quoted Chasity Schmelzenbach, emergency management director for Noble County, Ohio, as of 2 p.m. CST, the explosion appeared to have destroyed two homes.
Schmelzenbach said they received reports of flames shooting up to 200 feet and could be seen from up to 15 miles away.
She added that one person was taken to a hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries. The primary fire on the pipeline had been extinguished.
