State Police spokesman has stated there is no gas service to this area. There was a 50 gallon propane tank in the building, but State Police not sure if that was the source of the explosion. Would a 50 gallon tank destroy a building like this?

If you can crack an LP container, you can create a very healthy combustion rate.

I remember reports of a multi-story LP tank on the beach east of Kuwait City during recon for a possible marine landing in the ground phase of Operation Desert Storm.

The phrase used was "the nuke on the beach".
