It shut our plant down and several more around us. Caused disruption in electrical feed. It's a mess.

Good thread on the Tine board: https://texags.com/forums/38/topics/3490210

Summary so far. Energy Transfer natural gas liquids 20" line. Line is isolated and product is being allowed to burn off. May take 1-2 days. May have been caused by a vehicle striking a valve...why and how is still a mystery.

I'm going to guess that the driver was texting or doing something on social media.

Witnesses saying elderly woman having medical. Not sure they had a chance to make it of the vehicle.
