I used to live in that area . . . Lots of high priced department stores, and a metrobus hub, right on the D.C. line.
Please let us know if you get additional info.

Not good, but I am glad to hear it's not 100, or 1,000 hurt. (I am assuming the report isn't under estimating by much though)

ruptured underground gas line? I seem to recall that G-Town had a number of explosions due to that a few eyars ago.

Parking Garage Explosion Injures One Washington (AP) - Part of a Northwest DC neighborhood is being evacuated this afternoon, following a fire and explosion in a garage.
A 21-year-old man is in serious condition at Washington Hospital Center. Witnesses tell reporters he was on fire.
This happened inside a garage at 5225 Wisconsin Avenue. Apparently, the garage attendants heard an explosion, saw a vehicle on fire and tried to put it out. A doctor in a nearby building tried to help the injured man.
Wisconsin Avenue is shut between Harrison Street and Western Avenue, while police, fire and ATF combs the area.
Metro says the Jenifer Street escalators to the Red Line subway station are closed, though the other entrances remain open, and service isn't affected. There are also some bus detours.

OK, Then, let me hit the showers.
We know it wasn't terrorism, and the perp was a white male, at least we know that's what will be reported, anyway...

Gosh darn it. I thought it was a violation of the DC fire code to light an open flame around Jerry Nadler. Poor Jerry.
