We just had a similar blast here in Kenosha WI. I live four blocks east of the apparent gas explosion, and all my front porch windows, as well as many neighbors were blown out.

It was 11:13 pm, Sunday night, and without warning there was no KA- just BOOM. I thought it was a plane crash. In the minutes following while I collected my thoughts and some stuff, I ran outside to find the neighbors gathering and watching building insulation and wallboard dust and splinters rain down on our block that we figured it was a gas related event. It was very unnerving to say the least. I was shit for all at work the next day
