From the New York Daily News:
A massive explosion destroyed a home in a quiet Connecticut neighborhood and flames spread to at least three other houses, causing extensive damage.
Fire and emergency crews rushed to the blast site at 305 Webbs Hill Road in North Stamford, after it was reported 1:54 p.m. Tuesday.
“When the fire department and police arrived at the scene… there was no house left. It was in a million pieces,” Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia told the Daily News. “The home was completely and totally destroyed.”
Fortunately there were no fatalities and no one was seriously injured, Pavia said. The homeowner was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

When I was a volunteer firefighter in North Dakota, I went on one of these calls, when a house exploded, it is just eye opening to see how much damage a gas explosion can cause.
The case was where an Indian, living on tribal land, didn't like the house the Bureau of Indian Affairs provided him, so he turned on the gas, let the fill the house and the gas reached an and then, KABOOM!!!
No more house but the BIA built the family a new house within 3 months.
