Texas middle school evacuated over possible propane leak

A Texas middle school was evacuated after a possible propane leak, WFAA reported.

The report gives little else. No location beyond Texas, no cause, no injuries, no supplier named, and no word on whether the leak was confirmed. For a propane operator the pattern is the routine one: a suspected leak at an occupied building empties the building first, and the questions get answered afterward.

What to watch

Whether the leak is confirmed and what it traces back to. A school on bottled or bulk propane points back to a delivering marketer and its tanks and lines. If this turns out to be a service or equipment failure rather than a false alarm, it starts to matter to the people who deliver the gas.
