• CenterPoint shut off gas to about 200 customers in the area and said repairs would continue overnight.
• Technicians will visit affected homes Friday morning to conduct safety checks and restore service, and someone 18 or older must be present for relighting.
• Clark County Sheriff Scottie Maples urged drivers to avoid the area as traffic was diverted during the response.
