An explosion in rural DeWitt County shook that nearby homes and illuminated the horizon Sunday night was an Energy Transfer pipeline, said DeWitt County Sheriff Jode Zavesky.

Officials have not said as of 10:15 p.m. whether any injuries had occurred.

The fire is in a rural area that one witness described about eight miles north of Cuero near U.S. Highway 87.

I don’t think we will be getting any sleep tonight,” said Roger Zimmerman, 49, who lives about a mile from the fire on a road named after his family. “It looks like daylight out here.”
