LORAIN, Ohio -- A number of buildings in downtown Lorain were evacuated early Tuesday due to a natural gas leak.
The gas leak has been contained and the roads reopened.
The impacted area was within W. 6th Street to W. 5th Street and Broadway and it has now reopened.
Columbia Gas remains at the scene.
