I know that street quite well, but I can't figure out the location of the house. Was it on the north or south side of the street? How close to the bottom of the hill was the house. At the bottom of the hill, to the south, just before the street veers to the right, there once was one of the oldest coal mines in town.

We all heard and felt our House shake! then moments later the scanner came on talking about an explosion on Court ST. So sad, never know when your gas pipes may leak being they are old. pretty much a time bomb waiting to go off.

Thinking about staying in our car and not stay in the house now. Didn't sleep a wink lastnight after it happened. Too nervous and panicky worrying about it happening to us. The city should make nicor inspect and upgrade everyones gas lines and meters both outside and inside the structures to prevent further disasters as this from happening again.

Sad and a scary thought. Sad that this had happened. And scary for not knowing when something like this would happen and let alone for the ones that live near this scene very well could scare them wondering if it would happen to them.

I was told, by those on scene, there has been NO cause stated. Did I miss something?
