Interstate 77 reopens after W.Va. gas inferno

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012 Property

Interstate 77 has reopened in both directions in West Virginia after crews worked through the night to repair damage from a massive natural gas line explosion and fire. Tuesday’s inferno destroyed four homes and damaged others. It melted guardrails and left a huge swath of the interstate in Sissonville impassible. Nobody was killed, but several people were treated for smoke inhalation. The interstate was reopened to traffic in both directions early Wednesday. A roughly 800-foot section in both directions was baked by the heat.
