True story. Monday night we were watching tv and suddenly the entire house shook. I was like, "What the hell was that?" Timmy went outside with a flashlight to see if a tree had fallen on the roof. Nope. So we settled back down to watching tv.
Tuesday morning I stopped at Sheetz to get some coffee and as I was standing at the counter I noticed the front page of the local paper. "Jackass Blows Up House" or something like that. They are still investigating the cause, but what happened was a house about a mile from ours completely blew up. The paper said the blast could be felt up to 10 miles away. People in nearby houses were thrown out of their beds and stuff flew off the walls. Front doors flew open and windows were shattered. One girl who was sitting at her computer banged her head on the monitor (that one is a little funny to me.) 38 houses suffered damage and 11 were condemned. My friend who is the Southern Living at Home consultant had to get a building inspector to come out to look at their structural damage.
Here's the odd thing: we never heard any sirens on Monday night. Weird....
