I was outside and heard it, I am about 5 miles north. Not much left of it.

I heard the house explode in Castle Rock a while back. I think it was about a year ago? Quite the boom.

Probably another natural gas incident?

Saw it on the news.. I think it said one person was unaccounted for.

That's crazy. My sister in law lives about two blocks away. I'll have to check in on her.

Just checked on them. Said it scared the crap out of them when it exploded.

Hash oil extraction is a more popular way to blow your house up these days, it seems...
