Got to tell you the neighbors that we have spoken to say
that they have never heard anything like this before.
They've never seen anything like this before
and they have never felt anything like this before.
It's pretty incredible that nobody was injured in this.
When you look at the damage and we see what's left of this house,
I will step out of the way so we can give you a good look
at the scene out here and there is debris all over the place.
There was a lot more debris just a couple of hours ago.
Crews have really done a tremendous job of getting this area cleaned up
and getting it secure. We
We did see earlier this morning there was a door that was actually
blown off of its hinges out here, so pretty incredible.
The house explosion happened right around 1130 or so,
11, 11:30 last night.
This is on Hendricks and Elroy Streets.
It's in Warren, close to Shainer.
Now, crews are working to figure out the cause of the blast
that leveled one home and damaged several others in this area.
The wall of the home that exploded actually flew off
and crashed into the home next door.
Many neighbors are dealing with busted windows.
That type of damage as a result of this and what we understand
the blast could be felt about a half mile away. It was powerful.
It was very intense. Take a listen to the fire chief.
Not exactly sure, it's under investigation.
We felt it back at our quarters about a half a mile away
and basically it's damaged quite a few homes here on the block
and when we got here it was going throughout. It was just all flames
and the wall of the house actually blew off into the house next door.
