A gas pipeline exploded in an Oklahoma town near the Texas border overnight, creating a glow that could “be seen for miles,” local fire officials said Wednesday.

Photos and videos of the explosion posted on social media show flames shooting high into the air and illuminating an otherwise dark night sky with a red haze. The Elmwood Fire Department has not publicly provided details about the status of the pipeline, only saying overnight on Facebook that its crews responded to a “pipeline blow out.” CBS News has reached out to the fire department for more information.

      Maybe the 5th thing I’ve seen (the chicken coop must have been a horrific smell), so I have to assume somebody is doing a little freedom fighting in the lone star state.
