CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Now, a bit farther west, authorities in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, say most of the fires are out now, following a propane gas tank explosion -- actually a couple of them -- at a gas company last night. Hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes in the south-central New Mexico community, and at least 13 people suffered minor injuries. Reporter Jean Rodriguez (ph), of CNN affiliate KOAT in Albuquerque, is covering that story, and joins us again from Truth or Consequences. Morning again, Jean.</s>JEAN RODRIGUEZ, KOAT REPORTER: Good morning. This is an explosion that rocked the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It happened at about eight o'clock last night when a truck parked at a convenient store rolled back into a propane tank. Now, it hit the regulator and sparked the first explosion -- that set off a second explosion. Firefighters quickly responded, but not before a third explosion. The explosions shattered windows and even cracked the foundation of the First Baptist Church a mile away. Now, the flames shot straight up into the air. Witnesses describe a mushroom cloud. The fire spread to a nearby mobile home park, gutting the homes. Half a dozen of those homes were destroyed, 17 people were injured. Luckily, those were minor injuries, and everybody has returned to their homes, except for only three blocks that still remain closed. Now, we're told that police are actively searching for the driver of that vehicle. He has not been apprehended as of yet. Back to you.</s>LIN: All right, thank you very much, Jean Rodriguez reporting in.
