60 Evacuated Following Wyoming Gas Blowout 
-------------------------------------------


 
More than 60 people have been evacuated from their homes following a
blowout and a gas leak at a Chesapeake Energy well near Douglas,
Wyoming. The energy company says it lost control of the well while
installing a steel casing. There were reports of natural gas gushing
into the air and a roaring sound of escaping gas that could be heard
from miles away. No injuries have been reported.
