Authorities are looking into a natural gas explosion at his Fort Worth,
home.
FORT WORTH (AP) — Authorities say they are investigating a natural gas
explosion at the Fort Worth, home of megachurch pastor T.D. Jakes.
Fort Worth fire spokesman Lt. Kent Worley says the blast Sunday in the
home appears to have been an accident. Authorities say no one was
injured. The home was heavily damaged.
Jakes gave a sermon at a church prayer service for President Obama on
the morning he was sworn in.
Atmos Energy spokesman Ray Granado said his company ran tests and
checked meters around the house after the explosion.
Jakes is pastor of The Potter's House, a Dallas megachurch.
