hope you're wrong about people inside the home, and that those injured end up being ok.

 

 that said....the infrastructure is aging, and from what i can tell, not really being updated. they had problems here in cherry hill awhile back, before resurfacing one of the local roads. they were installing new joints, and were having problems with a couple of them.......

I hung up with my boss when this happened. I actually told him I bet a house blew up. Its got a distinct sound. Freaky I was right mostly. I just figured propane not NG. Hope no one was seriously injured but looking at the pics.... oof.

Wow..

I don't think they were inside when it went.. They'd be more than injured if they were. They were probably outside but close by. The one article said the chief was 50 yards away and got knocked over and those injured maybe have been closer to 20. Shockwave and concussion blast can do serious internal damage. Hope everyone recovers.
