ST. LOUIS (AP) - No one is hurt but nearly two dozen St. Louis homes are evacuated following a natural gas leak.

Twenty-nine residents in 23 homes were evacuated Monday in the city’s North Hampton neighborhood after residents told authorities of a strong odor of natural gas. Laclede Gas workers discovered the leak outside of one of the homes and cut gas service.

It wasn’t immediately clear how long it would take to make repairs.
