“There’d really be no way to hide a big gas leak, though.”

Right,
See the post just above.
(What if it IS as circlecity says, and the gas leak was SOLELY inside the house? ... BOOM!)
OH YEAH .. another good -gas blast- caught on video:

Nah ... these things NEVER happen ... never.
They happen all the time, as everyone knows.
It’s just not normally a mystery for very long.
I had an overhead gas heater develop a small manifold leak. The smell was obvious, and the gas co sniffer tracked it right down.
***Nah ... these things NEVER happen ... never.***
It happened to us back in the winter of 1956. I missed walking into the blast by less than 1/2 second by not getting up when I heard mom walk through the house. KABOOM! She was terribly burned with 3 degree burns over much of her body and the trailer we lived in was almost destroyed.
The ball of flame rolled over us two boys in bed by the front window which was blown out. That window acted as a releif valve for the blast. The suction behind the blast was so strong it tore down the paneling in the house, and actually pulled drawers out of the night stands by the back bedroom.
We were living in a drilling camp in NW New Mexico at the time and all of the camp used natural gas right off the well with no oderizer in the gas.
A woman over in Oklahoma was horribly burned and died in the same way I mentioned. Her laundry used well water and there was a small buildup of natural gas which was vented to the outside. One day when she started to do the laundry, KABOOM! It appears wasps had built a nest in the vent pipe and blocked it.
