A house down the street from me exploded and I am currently watching firefighters try to put out the fire.
Not the best light, but you can see the roof damage. 
My street is currently blocked off. Good thing I went out earlier.
I heard a couple of loud bangs, one after the other, but didn't pay much heed because I was reading. Then a few minutes later I got up and saw people walking through the front yard and everywhere, and also flashing lights, and figured this was something I should check out.
And I saw this.
Flames were visible, but I don't think they came through on any of the photos.
You can see a tiny lick of flame in the third photo.
More roof damage.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what happened. The fire may have originated in the garage. So perhaps propane tanks exploded. But why, I couldn't say. It's unclear if anyone was in the house at the time.
I drove past the house this afternoon when. Less than five hours later it was ablaze.
