Gas Main Explodes In Walnut Creek

POSTED: 1:40 pm PST November 9, 2004

WALNUT CREEK -- A gas main has exploded near Las Lomas High School's football field on South Main Street near Highway 680 in Walnut Creek, sending a huge plume of smoke and flames skyward.

The explosion has forced the evacuation of the high school. At least one home was on fire and the California Highway Patrol has shutdown part of Highway 680.

"All of a sudden we heard a boom," said Laura Roy, who has an office near the scene. "It's in a dense area of homes. From our vantage point it doesn't look like its spreading, but it must be."
