I saw it. The suspicion is that a propane tank exploded but nothing confirmed yet.

It seems that it almost had to be the propane. Definitely all the characteristics and debris pattern of a large gas explosion. Thank goodness there wasn't anyone occupying the house when it happened. It reminds me of the house explosion in Little Falls a few years ago.
