At 5:08 PM Yesterday, I posted this status update on FaceBook:

I just felt the whole house shake and heard a rather loud boom outside. I'll have to keep a lookout on the news to see what that was.

The explosion that I felt was a house on Cooper Ave, near Woodward. I didn't get very many good pictures, they wouldn't let me get too close. After talking to an officer, he informed me that they were expecting a second explosion (it was at that point, I tucked my tail between my legs and stepped back). I stood around for a little bit, hoping for the opportunity to take some better pictures. A lady drove up and parked behind me, I overheard her say that it was her house. She screamed that she just wanted to see "him" or see "it." I couldn't be sure exactly what she said, but she was very distraught (obviously I didn't bother asking her for more information).

I'll upload some of the pictures that I managed to take (later tonight). I heard a couple of different stories from different people. Most of them were pretty similar. The guy that lived in the house was 57 years old and unfortunately was inside when the house went up.

I am going to drive by the house later today and take some pictures (if I can). I will upload a couple later tonight, so keep your eyes peeled if this interests you. There isn't anything left of the house from what I could see, just small pieces all piled up.
