Anyone familiar with gas leaks? The concussive wave was reported to have been felt miles and miles away into Hancock county
Conspiracy websites are going crazy over this.
Btw, I have no idea if this has been posted because the search function no longer works for me. What's the deal with that?

IDK anything about this event but I do know that around this time of year natural gas or propane explosions seem to proliferate, as systems start to fire up that have been neglected all summer long.

On reflection... no crater, limited burn area (yeah 3 houses is limited for a boom that big).... I call FAE, whether intentional or accidental.

Can a natural gas explosion be felt dozens of miles away.
Now there are claims that it was a drone hit. The drone had deviated from a flight track. That is supposedly a report from Russia. Propaganda out there to get people stirred up.
Reports at the beginning of the incident and on police scanners said it was a plane crash The Mayor said that was quickly dispelled.
Firefighters on the scene said they had never seen a gas explosion like this with such effect. It’s like a war zone

There are combination CO / Combustible gas detectors available for well under $100. Sounds like a good thing (or two) to use around the house.

Iron bombs leave holes in the ground (generally) and spread burning debris further. FAE. Accident.

One of the houses was vacant. I immediately thought of Walter White.

Combustible gas detectors available for well under $100And then, 2 years later, when you change the battery because it died.. a small spark leaps across.... ;)

Well I'm 4 miles from this, the rumor goes, gas explosion, meth lab, and in the local pub this afternoon......a hit because whoever this owner is was sneaky.
I'm sure more rumors will follow, local FOX 59 just said the 2 dead were a Greenwood School teacher and her husband.......thats all I know for now.
This report is worth what you paid for it.

Doesn't look like a very old neighborhood. Back when I was in college there school was surrounded by homes that were about 30 to 35 years old. One summer in particular was quite exciting as every couple of weeks a house would go kaboom because of aged and corroded lines, and the phones would ring off the hooks when everyone in town would call the school to see if one of our experiments had caused the noise.
I wonder who lived in the house in this case? Seems too new for there to be an issue but with parts made in China, or really dumb workers installing things, who can be sure? Maybe some prepper's stash went off, or maybe Obama's bdy Ayers has been building bombs again..

Prayers up for the family. Didn't realize there were fatalities.

We had one blow up about two blocks over and that damage looks similar. It took out all my nth facing windows and did considerable damage to surrounding houses. That house was only about 1200 square ft, the one in the pic looks much larger. And elderly woman lost her life in that one but it's pretty sure she passed before the explosion.
To: RummyChick
Firefighters on the scene said they had never seen a gas explosion like this with such effect. Its like a war zone Having seen the devastation of a natural gas explosion within a residential neighborhood, I would say this was a gas explosion.
The amage is very similar. Homes just disintegrate...
