“The whole front of the house was all blown out, the side of the house was blown off,” he said.”The roof looks like it went up three or four feet and came down.”

Polensky (a neighbor) said that a retired couple had lived in the raised ranch home for years and he said he saw the couple walking out of the home appearing uninjured. Police said no one was injured.

He said that when crews arrived, large plumes of smoke streamed out of the home as though something were smoldering inside. Currently nearly a dozen fire crews were in the area and were going to surrounding homes checking for gas.
