Apparently Xcel wasn't quick enough. I was in my garage at the time of the explosion. I thought the garage door/garage itself was coming down on top of me. I ran out with my head down, and my heart racing. A couple neighbors came running out and we all were asking each other "wtf was that?!" when we looked over & saw smoke, dust & shrapnel in the air at least 75ft high. I was about to run in & check on my wife when I looked over & became distracted by the aftermath. I was thinking it was another sonic boom or something. There is nothing but a pile of rubble left & around 6 or 7 houses heavily damaged.
