"SEATTLE -- Utility crews have found a total of eight natural gas leaks in the north Seattle neighborhood where a home exploded, injuring two residents in a two-alarm fire."
"The pipes have been dug up for repair, Puget Sound Energy spokeswoman Martha Monfried said Tuesday.
More than two dozen utility employees were using sniffer equipment to sweep the area within five miles of Monday's blast.
Four of the leaks have been linked to electrical arcing initiated when a tree knocked down a high-voltage power line Sunday. The utility believes this is what caused the holes to the service line of the destroyed home."
The Associated Press had the story September 27, 2011.
