The natural gas leak happened just after noon at the corner of Route 221 and Graves Mill Road. A construction crew in the area ruptured the line releasing the natural gas. That prompted authorities to evacuate several nearby businesses including a daycare center.
Firefighters say the weather definitely played a factor in the evacuation and the cleanup.
