A high-pressure steam line failed at Eastman Chemical Company in Kingsport this morning. The rupture sounded like an explosion and could be heard for miles. The event occurred in the Northeast area of the plant around 7:30 a.m. Monday. Eastman officials say the event affected three buildings with power outages, and five people were injured. Two of the five were treated at Holston Valley Medical Center.

Hiker Dude DadA hiker. A dude. And a dad. Come along with me while I hike through Pennsylvania and beyond. Sometimes I'll have the kids along, sometimes I'll review a beer or grill something. Regardless, we'll have some fun and maybe you'll get some ideas on where to explore this beautiful chunk of the country!
