So far, bombs and meth lab have been ruled out. There were no reports of hearing any aircraft, no fireballs, craters so all the other fantastical ATS claims are out too.

I agree that there would be a crater, and in the pics I posted its clear there's no crater, but when I was driving to the neighborhood I just cant shake that feeling for some reason..
Something was being stored in that house, ammo/explosives...maybe a small fire triggered it off
Google street view (2007) shows open box truck from lumber company dropping off something other than lumber...
Nobody was in the house that exploded, wife was in ohio, husband was elsewhere...
On the scanner last night i was said that the basement of the home was flooded..here's a theory>.failed sump pump, floods basement, pilot goes out on h20 heater and gas dryer flips over breaking the aluminum gas supply line, water continues to flood basement while gas continues to leak, water then reaches Fuse box, then BOOM!...this exact scenario happened in my home here in Indy minus the explosion because gas was shutoff..

You may have math (took your time googling by the way ) but what about logic ? gas fires cause raging fires , leave scortch marks around the explosion , and burn wood . A lot of unburnt wood in those photos friend.
Cool thanks. I didn't see this in the thread before. It is possible that they were just protecting people in shock from being asked a lot of questions from the media for the time being, until they'd gotten settled down and dealt emotionally with their situation. Or maybe they wanted to keep a lid on things until they had ruled out any kind of attack scenario. Though I think in the second case it's wrong to restrict information, but maybe that's policy if an attack is suspected? What's the situation now though, are witnessess being interviewed and coming forward?
It's not a half million dollar home, it's valued at like $150,000 iirc

Natural gas explosion seems most likely given the events that took place, and the aftermath.
Ok cool, that's what i heard earlier, but it wasn't confirmed yet...

#'s really strange. I'm watching the news and they announced that a 10:00 PM curfew is being enforced in the area and that there will be "a strong police presence throughout the night."
They then cut to the spokesperson from Citizens Energy company who said that they have tested the area and detected no natural gas leaks.
