The wall of the home that exploded flew off and crashed into the home next door. Many neighbors have broken windows and debris was scattered up and down the street.
What we don't know:
Fire officials don’t know what caused the home to explode.
What they're saying:
Neighbors we spoke to say they’ve never heard, seen or felt anything like this before.
"We felt (the explosion) at our quarters, about a half mile away. Basically it’s damaged quite a few homes here on the block, and we got here it was just all flames and the wall of the house actually blew off into the home next door," said Warren Fire Battalion Chief, Robert Loring.
An investigation into the cause is ongoing.
