    They are saying it is a gas line rupture, fire shooting out of the ground and all that.

    Is on all of the local Twin Cities channels. Fire appears to be coming out of the ground on Nicollet St in front of the Cub Foods. I-35 crossing over Nicollet St is close by. They said that there have been no injuries.

    Ya, it’s happening about 6 blocks from where I work, earlier you could look out the door and see the flames.

    Nobody hurt I heard, that’s good.

    I drove by it at around 12:30 going south on 35W. That intersection is one big crater.

    If you have not seen it, a couple of lucky vehicles just missed being part of the explosion by seconds. Watch just before halfway into the
    video
