50 HOMES DESTROYED: MAJOR Gas Explosion In Lawrence Massachusetts

Massachusetts authorities were responding to "suspected gas explosions" in several communities outside of Boston Thursday evening that have left residents unable to "see the sky."

State Police (MSP) tweeted that troopers are on scene at "17 separate addresses for fire, explosion, or investigation" in the towns of Lawrence, Andover and North Andover.

Residents in the aforementioned towns that are serviced by Columbia Gas of Massachusetts "should evacuate their homes immediately if they have not already done so."

"Numerous evacuations of neighborhoods where there are gas odors are underway," MSP tweeted. While they added it's "far too early to speculate on cause," Columbia Gas is worked to depressurize its gas lines, which "will take some time."
