BROWNSVILLE - A drilling platform is leaking natural gas on Boca Chica Beach.
The natural gas spewing from the platform is creating white plumes of smoke. Workers on the rig were evacuated. We're told no one is inside nearby homes.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS crews are being kept about a mile away from the rig. We were able to get closer earlier, but Brownsville fire crews tell us it wasn't safe.
Winds are helping disperse the natural gas, which appear to be heading in the direction of South Padre Island. Officials explain island residents aren't in any danger.
However, people are asked to avoid the area of the drilling platform. Highway 4 has been closed to traffic heading to and from Boca Chica Beach.
Emergency crews first got the call about an incident at the drilling rig at around 1:30 p.m. It was originally believed to be a possible drilling rig explosion. It was later determined to be a natural gas leak.
We've learned crews will be out in the area all night, while experts with these kinds of situations head to the site. They're traveling from Houston.
