A pipeline fire that erupted in a suburban Houston neighborhood continued to burn early on Wednesday, with no definitive word on when the blaze would finally go out.
It remained unclear when people who evacuated may be able to return home, or why a car drove through a fence and hit a valve before the destructive explosion.
The fire still shot towering flames like a blowtorch into the skies between the suburbs of Deer Park and La Porte, but was gradually becoming smaller.
Authorities have said there’s no preliminary evidence it was a terror attack but haven’t said how they came to that conclusion.
Investigators said the driver of a sport utility vehicle went through a fence near the Walmart and struck an above-ground valve, but have not yet identified the driver or said what happened to them.
