I was at a friend's house when her next door neighbor's house exploded. We turned to leave and suddenly there's this huge boom noise and the ground is shaking and my first thought is "the TV fell? a bookshelf?" but the crashing sounds kept happening. We turned around and a tree was through her window and we're like "oh trout a tree fell." We go outside and it's actually just a small branch that broke through. There's smoke coming from next door, the other side of the tree. There was no roof.



Apparently the woman inside lit a cigarette and triggered a gas explosion. She survived with some first degree burns to the face.
