My jaw dropped when I saw areal footage of the debris field.

Everything was completely decimated and shredded to tiny pieces. I agree there is a reasonable possibility this wasn't (strictly) a natural gas explosion. Those can certainly be horrendously bad, but what occurred near Whitmore Lake looks even worse.

FIRST - I have NO IDEA what caused this explosion.

Just a couple facts to consider:

If you look at Google Earth, there's a big propane tank located in front of the house.

Propane is denser than natural gas, and is VERY DANGEROUS inside buildings. It has TWICE the energy of natural gas on a cubic foot basis.

So hypothetically if it went boom it would be twice the bang?

Well that's may change my hypothesis on what happened.
Does propane have a detection smell added to it?.
If not, a house full of awake people may not of been aware of a leak.

Odorant is added to LP Gas.

I do want to clarify that when I called about one incident, the odor was outside the building.That building had four condos, and there were other nearby buildings with four condos. The leak was outside near the foundation, from a gas pipe exterior to the building. In other incidents, the smell was noted on the outside of the building before entering.

Let me reiterate, call the gas company. They have concentration detection meters. I looked into buying one, to verify what we were being told about the level of safety in our workplace, but a good one was several thousand dollars. If you are worried about neighbors being involved in something else, do it discreetly.

I looked up whether it is legal to concentrate THC oil and it is apparently legal, but possession is limited to 15 g of concentrate. It is legal, but just as bad for explosion risk as a meth lab, because the same kinds of flammable agents are often used.

For what its worth the address was 8255.

His wife is very unfortunate looking. How does someone make it through decades of marriage when their partner looks like they fell and hit every branch of the ugly tree? He's no prize, either, but holy shit, that's one ugly woman . I'm not saying that you should only marry a woman who is 10/10, but being fuckable should be a prerequisite, otherwise you both will be miserable.

Regardless of what caused the explosion, it is a tragedy.

Nevertheless, we must investigate and report the actual cause.

If it is what we suspect, people should learn from this. Same with natural gas explosions. We should understand and learn how to avoid all these.

As for Neckbeard, who apparently looks like Taylor Swift, we all hope his/her New Years Resolution is to be nice to people. One day at a time, Taylor/Neckbeard.

I am probably the nicest person who uses this website. Just because you don't like what I say doesn't mean that I am not nice to people. But I guess it is commonplace for conservatives to allow their personal feelings to cloud their judgement.

He probably suspects you manufacturer THC oil in your basement.

As Matt likes to point out...

Ben Zonia had a second account called TC Shuts Up for several years which attempted to troll me. His posts were not what he would define as nice. I find it amusing that he is lecturing anyone on this board about demeanor. He is a demonstrated asshole.

I can understand operating a second account for the amusement of yourself and others. Creating a satirical personality can result in some amusing stuff. But when someone creates an account for the purpose of following another user around to challenge everything they have to say obsessively like TCSU would do with you and other left-leaning users, that is god damn pathetic.

If Ben Zonia was actually TCSU, then he is the most god damn pathetic person to ever use this forum. SAD!

Audiophile creeps the fuck out of me. I wouldn't be shocked to see a headline one day about the owner of a radio station getting busted for some gross stuff. I hope his wife takes time to sit down with their kids and ask them some difficult questions.

Eh, I doubt he's all that. He just seems to be naive and seems a bit wrapped up in the Old Testament.

Let's be cool, guys. It's the new year.

Get back to normal tomorrow.
