My wife and I woke up to the loudest noise we've ever heard and thought the house was going to fall apart at 5 AM on Sunday. A house three blocks down from us had exploded, due to a gas leak. Crazy stuff! No damage to our house, but a few houses down, there were multiple homes that were shifted on their foundation.

HOLEY SHEET!
Glad you and your family are ok...
hopefully no one was in the other home too....

Thanks! If there's one funny thing to come out of all it, it's that our 8 month old didn't even budge when this happened. I thought the giant ash tree in back yard fell on the roof.

NO ONE DIED. The family of the home was on vacation. There was four people that were rescued by neighbors via ladders in an adjacent home that was on fire.

Thankfully no one was hurt.

I heard about that on the news, didn't realize you were in their backyard almost, dang!

Jesus Christ that's intense.

I wish a neighbor had a security camera, can you imagine what that the house would look like as it exploded? Crazy!
