For the people who felt the blast- A mile from my house, right off of highway 916 by CR 418, a new, large 2 story log cabin with a basement exploded and was heard/felt up to 90 miles away! After the explosion area was FINALLY found, the neighbor of the house was nice enough to let me and my brother stand in his field- about 150 yards away- with the camera men from the major news channels (Watch the news- they interviewed us! Channels 4, 5, 8, and 11!). The neighbor said there was no fire. Ever... After the blast, which put a crack in their ceiling, they drove miles around trying to figure out where it was. When they got back, a while after the explosion, they realized it was dang near in their backyard... By the time we got there it was completely lit up with huge lights- with investigators, cops, and even the feds everywhere. The huge, new, nice house is now literally a pile of rubble, with no burn marks anywhere. The neighbor said the people who owned the house were home occasionally (their car is in the driveway tonight) and they were older- around 60s. The smoke that filled the air right afterwards was STRAIGHT gun powder smelling, and the house looked like it was a planned demolition. By no means am I saying it was planned, but a pretty interesting and weird situation without a doubt! It sounds like a perfect meth lab blew up in a basement scenario, but why would it smell like gunpowder? Not a gas explosion (no fire). I’m pretty clueless and curious about what happened! And it sure is darn eerie to think about.

Who were the people living there? Could have been Witness Protection Program protectees ....? Cartel money launderers? Retired CIA people?

Unless the guy was one of the world's most serious reloaders.

First off it would take a large amount of smokeless gun powder tightly confined to cause this type of explosion.

More likely some thing that smells close but isn't or there were some pounds of it the burnt off causing the smell.

But then I suppose the owner could have had a couple hundred pounds of it in a solid steel welded case unlikely.
