SEATTLE ? Utility crews have found three more natural gas leaks in the north Seattle neighborhood where a home exploded, injuring two residents in a two-alarm fire.
The pipes have been dug up for repair, Puget Sound Energy spokeswoman Martha Monfried said Tuesday.
More than two dozen utility employees were using sniffer equipment to sweep the area within five miles of Monday's blast.
David Ingham, one of the two people injured in the explosion and fire has been released from the hospital, Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said Tuesday. Ingham's wife, Hong, remains in serious condition in the intensive care unit.
Damage from the blast is estimated at $350,000, Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore said.
Puget Sound Energy said the leaks were apparently caused by electrical arcing initiated when a tree knocked down a high-voltage power line Sunday.
The utility has 750,000 natural gas customers in five counties.
