OMFG.
I was just ironing and running back and forth watching the game when there was teh biggest explosion sound and the whole apartment building shook like an earthquake. It was so fucking scary! The shaking blew the window fan right out of the window in my bedroom!
I threw some clothes on really quick, and Dave and I headed into the hallway adn downstairs to see if anyone knew what happened. Everyone was up, because the noise/shaking woke up those that were already sleeping. My knees were knocking and I was shaking all over because I was so scared.
Dave went back inside the apartment but I was super nosy and headed off up the street to where the police cars and other people were heading. I cut through a restaurant parking lot that is right up the street from me and I saw a ton of flashing cruiser/ambulance/fire truck lights in the intersection up ahead.
They had blocked the street off and were yelling at all of us to get back. As I looked closer, I realized the entire street was filled with glass. And walls. And insulation. A house had blown up. Half of it was scattered across the street and the rest of it was in ruins. Someone mentioned it may have been propane. I don't know what the fuck happened. I feel so terrible. I hope the people made it out unharmed. Though looking at what was left, I don't have high hopes of that. :(
Explain to me how an explosion happens and there is a lack of smoke and or fire???
Oh my god, that was the scariest thing......
