08/20 19:07 North Carolina Mall Evacuated After Nearby Explosion, AP Says
By Ashley Gross

Concord, North Carolina, Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) -- A shopping center northeast of Charlotte was evacuated after a natural gas explosion at a nearby construction site blasted debris and flames about 100 feet in the air, Associated Press reported.

No injuries were reported, and it wasn't immediately known what caused the explosion. A fire at the site was still burning two hours later.

Shoppers at Concord Mills mall, about 20 miles northeast of Charlotte, said they felt the heat and vibrations from the explosion, AP said. The construction site is located several hundred yards from the mall.

Firefighters were waiting for the gas to be turned off before starting to control the blaze, AP said, citing Concord Fire Department spokeswoman Sherry Lee.
