Gas Leak Forces Overnight Evacuation

A handful of homes in the area of Fourth and May in Hood River were evacuated overnight Tuesday due to a natural gas leak in that area.  A Hood River Fire Department official said Northwest Natural crews had found dangerously high readings of gas indicating a significant underground leak.  Residents of eight to ten homes were evacuated as the crews dug a hole in the road and isolated the leak to make repairs.  People were allowed to return to their homes early this morning, but Northwest Natural crews were still working in the area to continue repairs.
