Lubbock, Texas - A family whose members suffered burns when a natural gas pipeline exploded last week in the Texas Panhandle are suing the companies involved.

The Torres family filed a negligence lawsuit in Potter County on Thursday against the pipeline's owner, El Paso Natural Gas Co.; its parent company, El Paso Corp.; and the pipeline operator, Atmos Energy Corp.

Speakers for the entities declined to comment.

The 24-inch pipeline exploded Nov. 5, shaking homes, melting window blinds and shooting flames hundreds of feet into the air

According to a statement from the family's law firm, the Torres' home is about 100 yards from where the pipeline exploded. Three members of the Torres family were injured in the explosion.
