When things go BOOM in the night

That is so scary! Not sure if anyone on here heard of the huge explosion in San Bruno, California less than a year ago. Several homes exploded and several people lost their lives. My friends cousin lost his wife and oldest daughter.
I can't remember exactly what it was but it had to do with the gas lines and the gas company had a big problem on their hands. Something exploded and it ran up the gas lines into homes, causing several homes to explode.

I am so glad it was not worse. Scary, yes, but it could have been much worse.
Thank goodness you and the family are all okay.

Yikes! Very scarey. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

Good to hear everybody was safe and there was not much damage.

Wow---that was a mess. I wonder if they found the cause of the leak yet? Gald that wasn't too close to your house. We've had gas in both houses and it doesn't really bother me, for some reason no one ever seems to have a problem with houses, never heard of any house that went up. Propane is very different though, there's been tons of explosions with propane, I would never live where you can't have natural gas. Could the car wash have had propane?
Having electric heat out here is almost unheard of now, people with electric heat can't sell their houses no matter what kind of loss they take...prices are just too high. No one would be able to heat the home with the prices. But I do prefer the electric heat we had yrs ago, I find gas is a damp heat. Our garage has an electric furnace and it seems more comfy.
