LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Around 7:30 PM on June 22, a tornado ripped through Louisville, touching down near the intersection of Floyd and Central and Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
It was one of the first and hardest hit areas. Heavy winds snapped power lines and brought down traffic lights down. The entire intersection was blocked off.
On the corner sits Equipment Depot. It's entire roof was tore off when the winds came through the area.
It was around 9:00 PM when heavy rains, lightening, and thunder started causing the second issue of the night, flooding.
Cars were getting stuck in the high waters. One SUV had to literally push another car out of the water.

DETROIT (WJBK) - Six months ago Officer Patrick Hill took fragments to his head when he was trying to stop a murder suspect. This past Saturday Officer Hill succumbed to those injuries and has died. For six months the public was never given a full account of exactly what happened. Monday the chief of police, stopping short of calling it a cover-up, called it 'incompetence.' The investigation revealing now, that Officer Hill was killed by friendly fire. DPD Chief James Craig: "Officer Hill made the ultimate sacrifice. Unfortunately, the suspect who initiated firing his weapon at police officers, striking one of the team members, and our officers responded. Unfortunately, Officer Hill was struck by friendly fire. It was a tragedy. The bad guy succumbed to his injuries. But I have some concerns about the overall piece. Certainly I'm concerned about the tactics that lead up to the shooting. I'm also concerned about our investigation after the fact; this was something that happened before I got here - three months before I got here. And here we are, six months later, trying to sort out what took place. That's not acceptable."Charlie LeDuff: "Why was this thing just sort of shelved? Was it to avoid embarrassment?"Craig: "You know, Charlie, I have no idea. And I wouldn't say it was necessarily shelved, ... as I pointed out earlier, it was no sense of urgency. Complacent. People weren't held accountable to get this thing done. Officer Hill deserved better than that. Detroit police officers deserve better than that. And the reason why we look at these things early on, determine whether or not tactics are flawed, because that may save someone else's life. That's what important here. This is about officer's safety. And so going forward we've created a new system and there will be in every officer-involved shooting incident an exhaustive review, what I'm calling a 72-hour brief. I want to know what happened."LeDuff: "Another thing that changes here." Craig: "Absolutely. Part of the change."

$3.33 a day: Update
I am still going to stick to my $3.33 a day budget. I pretty much have to.
I've been eating a lot of salads and out of my freezer. The above is my sesame beet salad with wasabi dressing. So delicious.
I made us brunch yesterday... tvp sausages, sauted apples and brown rice pancakes.
BIG SALAD! I've been eating a huge salad every day before work. The dressing here was a raw fat free carrot/tomato/ginger/habanero concoction. So spicy and delicious.
Shan tofu with collard greens...
Noodle bowl...
Veggie burger with caramelized onions and strawberry/habanero ketchup on a homemade gluten free english muffin (made from brown rice flour)...
I have a stash of frozen bananas and baby spinach at work for green smoothies.. they are the perfect thing to drink to refuel!
I will probably not be posting as much for the next month or so while I get used to my new schedule. I don't get home until midnight at the earliest.. I have a 2 hour round trip commute (Damn traffic!)... I am sooo thankful to the Portsmouth library for having such an awesome selection of books on CD.
I am so behind on reading your blogs. I miss everyone!

Hey! We miss you, too. Glad you are getting some hours, albeit too many! :) Your carrot-tomato fat-free dressing looks interesting!ReplyDelete
congrats! it's awesome that you're working again but sticking to the budget seems like a good idea. this is one of my favorite blogs and i always love the stuff you cook up!ReplyDelete
i looove beets. do you make everything up or do you use recipes?
Your homemade burgers always look so delicous! Your such an inspiration for delicous healthy, inexpensive food, I love reading your blog!ReplyDelete
I'd love it if you would comment on my blog:
Miss you too, dear! Those huge salads sound amazing :)ReplyDelete
oh my gosh, Melody – 63 hours = bananapants! i love a big tasty salad – your dressing sound spicy 'n delicious, indeed! i love the beets too – they're so pretty! hooray for more shan tofu, a gloriously good veggie burger, and one tasty look'n noodle bowl! we always have frozen bananas in the house – some days i'll just eat ½ a banana so i freeze the other half for smoothies, too! mmmmmmmmmmmmm! no worries on the posting, Melody – we totally understand! hugs & happyfaces to you!!!ReplyDelete
Oh man, everything always looks so good. Can I pay you $5 for a plate? :)ReplyDelete
Hi, Melody! I'm new to your blog and I would like to say thank you for sharing your $3.33 ideas with us. I am currently part way through a 30 day experiment to see if I can live a vegetarian lifestyle, and it is working well for me, so I am looking forward to more of your inspiration.ReplyDelete
If the food is as delicious as the pictures, you are truly dismissing the stereotype that you can't have wonderful food without animal products!
I forgot to mention this; I saw from your main website that you were originally from Iowa. I am from Waterloo. What part of Iowa do you come from? Small world!ReplyDelete
happy award day!ReplyDelete
it's yours. congrats.
Good luck settling in to the new routine! All your food looks fabulous as always. Yum!ReplyDelete
Mel, your food always looks so colorful and healthy. That must be how you can work all those hours!ReplyDelete
You are an inspiration to us all.
Hi! I found your blog through Gena's blogroll and I'm having so much fun looking through your past posts. Honestly, I am so enthralled with anyone who can eat beautiful food for so little cash. You are my new hero!
As an experiment I took on the family grocery shopping (I'm 19) for the summer and kept all four of us fed for under $50 a week. It was actually very educational!
Have a gorgeous night sweetie!
With Love,
Hi, Mel!ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say I've been meaning to try my hand at that shan tofu forever, and finally did it last week. I'm hoping it'll be good until Wednesday (I made it on Friday, I think...maybe Thursday). I used chickpea flour and it worked pretty well, but is more of a firmer polenta than anything else. When I stiry-fry it, it tends to fall apart a bit...any tips? Maybe I should use more flour/less water next time. It tastes great though, even mushified, and is healthy to boot. Thanks again for writing about it and inspiring me to give it a go!
Strawberry habanero ketchup?! Wow! That sounds amazing!ReplyDelete

Helping Churches Care: Grief Ministry in Action
In 2002, my life was turned upside down by the sudden death of my father. After his death I felt lost and often alone in my grief. Many people meant well, but no one really knew what to say or do. No one from my home church reached out to me beyond sending sympathy cards. Going to church and other public functions became a dreaded chore. Many people asked, "How are you?" but did not want to listen to the response. After a couple of weeks it felt as though people forgot about my grief and even stopped asking how I was doing.
My experience eventually led me into chaplaincy and graduate work where I learned: "Pain is intrinsically alienating. It tends to make us feel like strangers to others (even family), strangers to ourselves (in terms of confusion), and sometimes it can even make God seem like a stranger" (Zurheide, 1997, 16). Chaplaincy introduced me to many people who had experienced the same loneliness in grief that I experienced. In an interview for a class, one woman told me that going back to church was the hardest she had to do, because everyone there was happy and she felt there was no place for her sadness. At that point my research began to focus on the grief experience within the context of church ministry. This article is based on the research for my doctoral project, "Helping Churches Care: Expressing Grief in Protestant Evangelical Churches.
Qualitative research methods were used to conduct this project. Five people from various backgrounds, genders, and ages within the Protestant Evangelical faith tradition were interviewed. Each person had experienced grief while they were active members of a church community. The losses ranged from three to nineteen years after their loved one died.
The group of participants represents diverse loss experiences and age groups: Subject A, 57, female, 78-year-old mother died in hospice 14 months after her cancer recurred; Subject B, 69, female, husband died unexpectedly at 67; Subject C, 27, male, mother died after two years of treatment for breast cancer at 50; and Subjects D and E, couple in their mid-sixties, 19-year-old daughter was raped and murdered in a carjacking 20 years ago.
Each participant was a member of different Protestant churches in Georgia and Mississippi. Four of the five participants had been actively involved in one church for an extended period of time prior to the death of their loved one. One participant had been in transition from one church to another, but her mother was actively involved in a church for many years.
The interviews took the form of a life review of the participant's grief journey. The term life review was first coined by Robert Butler as a "personal process by which a person evaluates his or her life as it nears its end" (Butler, 2012). More recently, an adapted bereavement life review has been successfully utilized in grief therapy by Ando et. al. (2010) in "Effects of Bereavement Life Review on Spiritual Well-Being and Depression" (Ando, M. et. al., 2010, pp. 453-459). The interviews included the circumstances surrounding the loved one's death, their experience of that death, and the support they received during their initial grief process. The specific questions asked were: (a) who provided grief support, (b) what support was most helpful, (c) were there any unmet needs during their grief period, (d) what additional support would have liked to have received, and (e) what role did their ministers and church play in providing support. Common themes emerged regarding 1) grief reactions, 2) importance of faith, and 3) sources of support.
Results and Discussion
Grief Reactions
The participants recalled experiencing many typical grief reactions (see Attig, How We Grieve, p. 43-44, for summary of grief symptoms); however, two reactions in particular were common to all participants: a strong desire to stay busy and ongoing waves of grief.
Staying busy
Each participant experienced a need to be busy in the initial months of grief. The participants expressed the lack of control and helplessness of the grief situation created anxiety and restlessness. Staying busy brought a sense of order out of chaos and distraction from the difficult task of grieving. Doing normal activities such as going back to work, paying bills, taking care of their family's needs, cleaning and fixing things helped created a sense of normalcy, purpose, and mental and spiritual satisfaction.
Parkes (1986) describes this need to keep busy as a part of the pining phase of grief stating, "Their search for 'something to do' is bound to fail because the things they can do are not, in fact, what they want to do at all. What they want is to find the lost person" (Parkes, C.M. 1986, p. 67). Subject A reported feeling helpless after her mother died, because she had no task to do after her mother's death. She said, "Everybody came and got everything and it was all done in an hour and fifteen minutes. It was like she wasn't there. We rearranged the furniture, but it still just felt like-poof!-and she was gone" (interview, May 15, 2011).
Continual waves of grief
Many grief theorists describe grief as happening in stages or phases; however the participants expressed that grief came more like waves, at times catching them by surprise. Subject E described her experience:
Grief is like an ocean that you go and you think, 'Okay high tide's at 4 o'clock'; but you don't know that there's a storm off. And so high tide comes in at 3:00 that day, and you're totally blindsided, because you're out on the beach with your sand stuff and you're sitting out there and all of a sudden you're washed over in the waves that you didn't even know were coming. (interview, October 22, 2011)
Sullender (1985) describes grief as waves of pain stating, "The griever's suffering is never constant. The waves of pain are alternated by lulls of momentary rest. Initially, of course, in acute grief situations, the waves are intense and frequent" (Sullender, S., 1985, p. 56). Over time the intensity of the pain lessens and the waves of pain become more infrequent.
Waves of grief continue for months and sometimes years after the actual death occurs. Subject A described finding her mother's notes as "cosmic sabotage" saying, "Every time I opened a drawer, every time I opened a book … for six months I'd bump into notes. I'm about to get this scab healed over and then here comes another note" (interview, May 15, 2011). Subject E shared, "It'll be our twentieth Christmas without her, but there are days that I get up, and—you don't know what it is that you're going to see or what you're going to find when you're cleaning out a drawer or a jewelry box—and you find a little two dollar pin that she gave you for Christmas one year or something and I will cry all day" (interview, October 22, 2011).
Grief is something you learn to cope with on a daily basis, because the loss of that person will always be present. Subject A stated, "It was really difficult for me to realize that the world was still moving, you know. You think, 'Excuse me, how can life go on?'" (interview, May 15, 2011). Subject D stated, "Life is different, and I don't mean this tritely. I think God does give you grace to go on, but life's different. There's always that sensitivity to what could have been and is not. You don't dwell on it. It doesn't dictate all your decisions, but it's always there" (interview, October 22, 2011).
Importance of Faith
Religion provides, "an interpretive framework, in which suffering becomes understandable and bearable" (Wuthnow, 1980, p. 510). The belief in a God who comforts and guides, the belief in life after death, and the social interaction with other church members provide support and meaning for the bereaved. All participants struggled with finding meaning for the suffering, but all expressed a sense of hope.
Why me?
"Amid suffering, hardships or severe loss experiences, people inevitably ask why: Why has this happened to me? What is the meaning or purpose of this experience?" (Sullender, 1985, p. 98). "The drive to know, the compulsion to make sense of suffering evokes the question.... If God is all-powerful and is really in charge of the universe, why is God causing or allowing me to suffer?" (Aden and Hughes, 2002, p. 13). Four predominant possibilities arise within Protestant faith: (a) it is "God's will," (b) God is trying to teach them something, (c) God is testing them, or (d) God is punishing them (Zurheide,1997, pp. 20–23).
Subject E said, "There were people, and some from church, who were at times very offended when I would talk about being angry or 'Why would God allow this to happen?' I believe firmly that 'why' is not a four-letter word literally or spiritually—that God does not have a problem with 'why'" (interview, October 22, 2011). Subject B recalled his feelings after his mother's death stating:
I couldn't understand why, and I still don't—why God had to take her. The only thing I really struggled with was the lives that she had touched and the possibilities that she could still touch if she was here today. (Interview, September 2, 2011)
The participants who experienced their loved one's death as a result of illness believed the death was a part of God's will. Subject B stated, "It's not for me to understand—and I realize that now—why God had to take her, but his plan is better than mine, of course. I knew that God knew what he was doing. We prayed several times as a family that his will be done and his will was done." He also questioned whether suffering was a type of punishment stating, "I had never known her to do anything wrong as far as unbiblical or serious sinful nature. I don't know why he would let someone struggle like that for two years with cancer and fight the battle she fought and suffer like she did" (interview, September 2, 2011).
Others believe that suffering is part of life. Subject D did not believe his daughter's murder was God's plan. He stated, "Murder is never God's will. For a nineteen-year-old girl to be raped and murdered is never God's will" (Subject D, interview, October 22, 2011). Subject A reported she never asked "Why?" her mother died and she never lost faith in God, but she did question the care of the church. She said her experience left her with a "distaste for the business of the church." She stated, "The absence of other people there almost was a testimony to the church. There was no demonstration that anybody cared" (interview, May 15, 2011).
Gerstenberger and Schrage state:
Without hope, suffering cannot be endured.... The pressure of suffering, then, does not demolish hope, but strengthens and radicalizes it, precisely because a hope that is, so to speak, given a hard slap in the face by painful earthly reality bonds one all the more firmly to God and grows more sure. (Gerstenberger & Schrage, 1977, p. 218)
The participants expressed finding hope in God's presence in the midst of their pain and in seeing their loved one again in heaven. Subject C said, "When I stayed by myself I felt like I was not by myself, because I always felt God's presence. And I still feel that way. God has wrapped his arms around me so I'm not afraid of anything now" (interview, October 21, 2011). Subject D described feeling God's presence during his grief saying:
It was on that trip home when I knew that [she] was dead, and I'm having this conversation with God and I'm saying, 'Either faith-this spiritual journey that I've been on-either it's been real now or I can't make it.' I mean, there was a possibility of despair. And I had-in the midst of grief-I had this assurance, 'It's real. I'm here.' I think Paul said it well, 'There is grief, but there is grief with hope.' (interview, October 22, 2011)
Death was not seen as "final" rather "just a temporary separation" (Klass, 1993, p. 64). Subject E said that her daughter is "doing a sight check in heaven" and said, "I know where [my daughter] is. When I get to heaven I want to see Jesus, but I want [my daughter] to take me to him" (interview, October 22, 2011).
Sources of Support
The participants received support from family, friends, ministers, and counselors with whom they had long-standing relationships. The participants agreed the most helpful support was the presence of others who were willing to walk with them on their journey of grief and not be scared away by the pain of it all. These people made simple gestures such as: asked them out for a meal, brought food to their home, sat with them in church, listened to their story, did dishes, made phone calls, offered help without the bereaved having to ask for it, and had little or no expectations of the bereaved to "feel better" or "get over it."
Family and friends
Subject A said her husband and children supported her by simply letting her cry (interview, May 15, 2011). Subject B's wife was his primary source of support. He said, "She stayed with me through the whole thing—stood beside and was holding my hand the whole way" (interview, September 2, 2011). Subject E said she could not talk to anyone in her family, because they needed her to take care of them; however, she did have a close friend saying, "Because of the depth of our friendship I could be mad or ugly or angry or whatever and she didn't think any differently about me" (interview, October 22, 2011).
Unfortunately many grieving people describe feelings of abandonment as their grief process continues. "After a few weeks, most people assume that the life of the grieving person is nearly back to normal as their lives are so they go on about their business and forget that their friend is in terrible pain" (Glanz, 2007, p. 108). Subject E had a woman say to her, "I know you haven't heard from me since [your daughter] died, but I just didn't know what to say or what to do so I just didn't do anything" (interview, October 22, 2011).
Ministers and church
Some participants were comforted by the close relationship they had with their minister. The couple grieving the death of their daughter felt well supported by their ministers, saying their pastors were present at their home as soon as they found out about their daughter's murder. The minister spread the word throughout the church community and soon others arrived to be with the family. The mother said, "It was nice having people there in the daytime to help so that they could take care of the food that came in, so that I didn't have to worry with any of that" (Subject E, interview, October 22, 2011).
One young man stated their family received constant support from their church throughout their mother's illness and death. He said, "They brought food just about twice a week, three times a week before she died. As small as that church is everybody has a part to play and everybody has a role to play, and if that person is not there something is missed out of that church and out of that service. So, we were basically a big family." He recalled the experience of attending church following his mother's funeral saying, "They cried like we did. They stayed right beside us, side-by-side, hugged our neck[s]. They grieved with us; I guess is what you'd say" (Subject B, interview, September 2, 2011).
Unfortunately, the church is not always seen as a place for grief healing. "There is a growing tendency for Christians to absent themselves from church the Sunday after a death in the family—for fear they will cry in church" (Sweet, 1994, p. 61). Many grieving people say that going back to church was one of the hardest things they had to do. Some people chose not to go back to church or changed churches, because they felt so awkward and alone. McConnell writes:
All too often within the Christian community bereaved individuals are not given permission to feel and express the deep pain that may remain.... Sometimes the church becomes a challenging place for people to continue their grieving, either because fellow believers wish to rush them beyond the pain of loss to the joy of heaven, or because it is simply difficult for the acutely grieving person to participate in the celebrations of the faith community. (McConnell, 1998, pp. 41–42)
Subject A reported she did not receive support from her church in the year following her mother's death beyond receiving a sympathy card from a deacon. She said, "When I went back to [church] for the next worship service lots of people came up and said they were sorry to hear about my mom leaving and those kinds of things. Of course in my brain I was like, 'Well, I'm glad you're sorry that she's gone, but where were you two weeks ago?'" (interview, May 15, 2011). She reported she has never gotten involved in another church on an "intimate level" since her mom's death.
Other grieving people
The participants all expressed a desire to be with other people who had experienced the same sort of loss as they did. One woman said, "I think I would have liked to have had a friend; or maybe somebody who had been through it before, but with a similar personality maybe" (Subject A, interview, May 15, 2011). One widow said that it was very hard talking to others about her feelings when they had not experienced the same type of loss:
I really do not have one friend who's lost their spouse. They have tried to meet my needs, and I feel like they have the best they can. But until you've walked in those persons shoes you don't know. So, it's not that people have not been there for me—they have. But until you can really cry with somebody ... you have got to talk to other people who have been through this, because that helps you. (Subject C, interview, October 21, 2011)
She now visits people who have lost a loved one and is able to say to them, "I really don't know exactly how you feel, but I know somewhat, because I've been there."
What Can the Church Do?
J. Moltmann (1990) states, "The care of the souls is a task of the entire community and happens in 'mutual conversation and consolation among brethren" (Moltmann, J., 1990, p. 361). The church must recognize when people are grieving and be brave enough to reach out to them in compassion and love. "Hope itself is grounded in the experience of relationship" (Billman & Migliore, 1999, p. 101). Hughes (1985) states, "The church, the community of believers, has the potential to be a source of strength and support for mourners. It is in the church that Christ is experienced as present" (Hughes, 1985, p. 94).
The pastor's initial role during the grieving process is "to be present and mostly silent. The most important element in guidance is 'care-full-listening" (Patton, 2005, p. 59). The pastor also has the responsibility "to restore the person who may be separated from the faith community by her loss and grief, actually or symbolically, to that community" (Patton, 2005, p. 60). Pastors should begin to involve the church community by "claiming their own discomfort with the topic and then work through it using their sermons" (Jacobs, 2010, p. 93). She encourages clergy that by preaching about death and dying we normalize the topic and give our congregants the opportunity to work out their own spiritual issues.
Providing grief support can be a challenge if the pastor or lay minister is uncomfortable in those situations. One woman reported an awkward visit from her mother's pastor when her mother was dying with cancer. She was going to give the pastor time alone with her mother, but he replied, "Oh, please don't leave me with her." When the woman told her mother the minister was there to see her, the mother responded, "Well, I'm glad he decided to show up. He didn't even go over to so-in-so when she was sick" (Subject A, interview, May 15, 2011).
Grieving people need practical help, emotional support, and spiritual guidance during the grief process. "To accompany people who are dying or bereaved on that part of their life journey is to be given a great trust, a great privilege" (Wilcock,1996, p. 83). Little things like having someone prepared to meet them when coming back to church for the first time after the funeral. Be sensitive to the songs being sung, as they may have a sentimental meaning to the bereaved. Allow them the freedom to leave early. Talk about the deceased. Say their name. Don't be afraid to cry out of your own grief. Offer to meet them later or call and check on them after their first time back at church or other social setting. Be available. (Harris, 2000, p. 39–40).
With every phone call and visit, with every prayer and every smile, with every casserole and pie, with every instance of reaching out, we share that hope today, and tomorrow, and always. (Harris, 2000, p. 39–40)
Hughes writes:
When death threatens who we are and what we are, community, must be re-created. Who will help in this effort? Distant relatives will be going home. The attention of friends and neighbors may wane if a bereaved person's anger or depression persists.... The church, the community of believers, has the potential to be a source of strength and support for mourners.... While human families rise and pass away, the household of faith (in a sense) transcends time and passage, giving stability and purpose. (Hughes, 1985, pp. 41-42)
The presence of another person not only provides human companionship, but also represents the presence of God in the midst of suffering. The participant's primary support came from people with whom they had long-standing relationships. The task of the pastor and church is to begin support before a death occurs. Build relationships now, so when tragedy strikes you are a welcome and comforting presence, and continue to be supportive for the ongoing work of grief.

Cost of deaths from motor vehicle crashes
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading killer of children, teens, and young adults (ages 5 to 34) and among the top ten causes of death for all ages. Over 30,000 people are killed in crashes each year in the United States. In 2005, in addition to the impact on victims' families and friends, crash deaths resulted in $41 billion annually in medical and work loss costs. It's important to remember that crashes are preventable. Using effective programs and policies, we can reduce the number of injuries and deaths and their costs.
Taking action can save lives
More than one thousand North Carolinians are killed each year in preventable motor vehicle crashes. North Carolina can consider the following evidence-based strategies that are proven to save lives and money:
- Primary enforcement seat belt law that covers all seating positions.
- Comprehensive graduated drivers licensing (GDL) system to help young drivers gain experience under lower-risk conditions.
Crash-related death costs for states in your region
|North Carolina
|8.7 million
|$1.50 billion
|4.5 million
|$1.07 billion
|17.8 million
|$3.16 billion
|9.1 million
|$1.55 billion
|4.2 million
|$871 million
|2.9 million
|$881 million
|South Carolina
|4.3 million
|$1.01 billion
|6.0 million
|$1.15 billion
How can costs due to motor vehicle crashes be reduced?
The best way to reduce costs due to crash-related deaths is to prevent crashes. Effective strategies for preventing crashes include graduated drivers licensing laws, sobriety checkpoints, and ignition interlocks for those convicted of driving while intoxicated.
The next best way to reduce costs is to prevent injuries when crashes do happen. Among the proven ways to prevent injuries during a crash are increasing child safety seat and booster seat use through distribution and education programs, increasing seat belt use through enacting and enforcing primary seat belt laws, and increasing helmet use through comprehensive motorcycle helmet laws.
Why are work loss costs so high for motor vehicle crash deaths?
Work loss costs are the total estimated salary, fringe benefits, and value of household work that an average person—of the same age and sex as the person who died—would be expected to earn over the remainder of his or her lifetime. Motor vehicle crash deaths disproportionately affect younger people, who have the potential to contribute to the workforce for many years. Therefore, when a younger person dies, the result is a higher work loss cost.
Where can I get more information on these cost estimates?
The costs used in this fact sheet came from CDC's Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS), which is an online, interactive system that provides reports of injury-related data.

MILFORD, TX (KLTV) - A drilling crew punctured a gas pipeline in North Texas and triggered an explosion that led emergency personnel to evacuate a nearby town.
Right after the explosion, black smoke could be seen pouring hundreds of feet into the air and flames jumped stories high. Some vehicles at the worksite were reportedly burned.
The explosion occurred near Farm to Market Road 308. Officials told WFAA in Dallas that the line was closed off and crews are waiting for the fire to burn out.
The Ellis County Sheriff's Office says the explosion Thursday morning involves a Chevron pipeline. Chevron spokesman Justin Higgs says the accident involves a liquefied petroleum gas pipeline.
Milford volunteer fire chief Mark Jackson said a 10-inch pipe broke and about 200 students in the Milford Independent School District were evacuated to the nearby town of Italy.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Jo Ann Livingston says authorities have not received any word of injuries. Deputies went door-to-door in Milford advising residents to leave.
Milford, a town of about 700 people, is located about 14 miles northeast of Hillsboro and 50 miles south of Dallas.

The Dallas police officer who shot a mentally ill man in a disputed incident caught on tape was fired Thursday.
Police Chief David Brown also announced Officer Cardan Spencer would be charged with first degree aggravated assault. But a judge reportedly refused to sign the arrest warrant and now the case will be referred to a grand jury.
Spencer was fired for violating DPD's deadly force policy and its procedures on mentally ill people. Spencer had a hearing on Thursday morning.
"We are not going to sweep officer misconduct under the rug," Brown said at a press conference. "An officer's actions must reasonable and necessary."
A police report said Bobby Bennett, 52, threatened Spencer and another officer with a knife last week and then Spencer fired his gun at him.
But video captured by a neighbor's camera shows Bennett didn't appear to move toward the officers at all until he crumpled to the ground from a gunshot.
Bennett's mother, Joyce Jackson, said her son suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He is still hospitalized recovering from the shooting. "I hope this situation will help the police with training in dealing with the mentally ill," she said.
She's hoping for a harsher punishment for Officer Cardan Spencer. "Officers are not above the law, okay," said Jackson.
Chief Brown said Bennett told detectives he was suicidal and wanted officers to kill him. He had a similar run in with cops in Euless in 1998.
Police will continue to investigate the second officer involved in the case. Although Officer Christopher Watson did not fire his weapon, he was the one who filed the police report.
The chief said Watson has admitted to remembering things out of order or that didn't happen, possibly because of the stress of the situation.
He will remain on restricted duty until the investigation is complete.
Officer Spencer was very emotional and expressed regret about what happened, the chief said.
"Cops are not superhuman. They have fear. But that fear has to be real," Brown said.
"He was very upset like anyone would expect, very disappointed and feels very betrayed by the department," said President of the Dallas Police Association Ron Pinkston.
The FBI is also investigating the case to determine if Bennett's civil rights were violated.

On Monday, we told you about Katie Stark. Back in June, she went to a Tigers game at Comerica Park. She is disabled, but had regular tickets, so she was told to park her wheelchair in a certain spot. When she came back to get it, the wheelchair was gone.
"I didn't sit in it because I like to be as normal as possible, and I don't like to sit in my wheelchair for very long. I like to sit in a normal seat with everybody around me and cheer them on just like everybody else," Stark said.
Since our story aired, the response has been incredible. On Tuesday, the Shelby Township Fire Department delivered a new wheelchair.
"I was watching TV last night and saw the story and just literally struck a nerve," said Lieutenant Joel Morris.
Although the actual donation was made by the fire department, there were dozens and dozens of viewers who emailed and called Fox 2 offering their assistance.
"We just want to thank everybody from Fox 2 and all your viewers. We can't even tell you how grateful we are. You guys are awesome," said Theresa Buero, Katie's mother.

"Sandra [Humphries, Vice President of Education, Salon], John [Moroney, Global Salon Vice President, Education], Trevor [ Attenborough, President and General Manager, Salon for Kao USA, Salon] and Cory [Couts, President Global Salon] all come from hairdresser backgrounds. They get it. They understand that we can use technology to make us all get better, be better artists and get more business. "
McIvor, a salon owner, platform artist and educator, has had a chance to observe the rapid and dramatic changes that have changed our world, especially in the last ten years. "When we created education as absolute rights, it was based on principle based education….what works, what doesn't work. It was great academically and scientifically, but not necessarily artistically. People were learning to do what was RIGHT, but not as an artist. An artist doesn't put paint on a canvas and say 'is this right?' It's important to get as much education as possible and learn from it. Learn from each other…social media. It's not necessarily bottom up education, it's just no longer ONE right way. There are multiple RIGHT WAYS.
"Today we can discover what we want to be. Social media allows us to do our own work and be proud of it. We can now get more education, learn from others and learn what has worked and equally importantly NOT worked for other stylists."
When asked what exactly he will be doing with Goldwell and KMS, McIvor says his newly created position is official as of January 1. Today he is meeting with the Goldwell/KMS team in Santa Monica, California. "I will be travelling globally, helping and sharing. I will be educating on hair color, social media and most importantly how to grow business. It's about how to get the guests you want via technology. This IS a revolution. Now is that time, and we, Goldwell, KMS and Kao, are ready."

The four-day congress, which is organised every other year, was held for the first time in Finland and indeed the Nordic countries. There was also an exhibition in the Winter Garden, with 21 exhibitors.
"Messukeskus Helsinki s a well-run complex where everything works smoothly. Its location near but not quite in the centre of Helsinki is ideal for congresses: the city centre is easily accessible yet far enough so that participants do not wander off too easily," says Päivi Wood, CEO at the Society of Radiographers in Finland.
Congress participants were also able to learn about Finland in events organised for them: sauna in Uunisaari island, hiking in Nuuksio National Park, and jogging round Töölönlahti Bay. There was also a This is Finland lecture about Finland, the Finns and radiography in Finland.
The Society of Radiographers in Finland organised the conference for the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists, ISRRT.
Messukeskus Helsinki, Expo and Convention Centre, promotes Finnish welfare, by enabling profitable face-to-face meetings in fairs, meetings, congresses and other events. Messukeskus Helsinki hosts approximately 100 exhibitions and 1,400 meetings and congresses each year offering 7 exhibition halls, 40 convertible meeting rooms and the 4,400-seater Amfi Hall auditorium. The Holiday Inn Helsinki hotel operates within the same premises. In 2013, fairs, conventions and other events held at Messukeskus Helsinki attracted 10 000 exhibitors and 1.1 million visitors.

One question that is still asked a lot when I notice folks shopping for wine is, "What is the difference between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio?"
I'm here to help fill in the blanks.
"Pinot Gris" is the Vitis vinifera grape, and in Italian it is called "Pinot Grigio".
Pinot Gris is a grayish-purple grape which produces white wine.
But much like any other wine grape, terroir matters. In other words, where the Pinot Gris is grown will dictate what the end product tastes like.
The grape is grown in mostly cooler climates, and will normally produce crisp, refreshing wine.
For example in Italy's Valdadige and Veneto regions, Pinot Grigios tend of have more body (medium-bodied) with a lot of citrus fruit and mineral flavors. The cheaper versions have a lighter body, but more of a neutral flavor.
In Oregon, Pinot Gris can run the gamut. It can be light and fragrant with floral and citrus characteristics, all the way to rich, round and tangy.
While in the Victoria region of Australia, vintners label wines using both names. The difference appears to be in the level of sweetness in the wine, as Pinot Grigio labels indicate drier wines than Pinot Gris.
Bottom line is, you can now shop for the quality and essence of the wine rather than fretting over which is which. Pinot Gris and/or Pinot Grigio make wonderful whites to enjoy any time of the year.

Sandra's Q & A
Favorite Sport/Team
Football!!! High School: Lake Mary Rams; NCAA: FL Gators; NFL: NY Giants
Favorite Movie/Actor
I like most sci-fi movies, but I LOVE my Twilight! As for actors, it's between Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr
Go-to karaoke song
"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
When I first turned 18 I went crazy and decided to get a tattoo. It's of a butterfly and is around my belly button. What's odd is that I don't particularly like butterflies... I also have my belly button, tongue and ears pierced.
Mac or PC?
PC - Always & Forever <3
Nintendo, Xbox 360, PS3, or don't game?
I am a big gamer, but more of the MMORPG type. My older brother got me into EQ when I was younger and I have been hooked ever since. I now play EQ2 & World of Warcraft. However, if I have to pick one of the game consoles named, it would have to be the Xbox 360. I own at Dead or Alive 4.
What fun fact, talent or superpower of yours should guys know about?
I think that my breasts have a type of superpower. They have a magnetic and hypnotizing effect on men. They render men helpless under their control, unable to look away.
What's in your purse or pocket right now?
My purse currently has some lip gloss, my keys, my wallet, a tampon, a compact mirror, dental floss, and a receipt from Dunkin Donuts inside.
What do you feel most comfortable wearing?
A Victoria's Secret bra! Anything else is unnecessary! I love support for the girls ;)
Would you rather have boring sex all the time or an amazing romp once a year?
I'd prefer amazing sex once yearly. I can please myself better than boring sex anyway.
If you could do a shot of Jose Cuervo with anyone -- dead or alive -- who would it be?
My father, who passed when I was 7. I miss him and would love to be able to take a shot with him now that I'm all grown up.
