Gas-leak Explosion

EDINA-Tuesday afternoon after 2:30 p.m., a house exploded that left houses in the same neighborhood six blocks away feeling the impact, but no injuries have been reported. “It appeared that a backhoe working near the house apparently punched through a gas line, sparking a fire that engulfed the entire structure,” said eyewitness, Jake Schlegel. However, a spokeswoman for CenterPoint Energy said the incident was caused by a contractor who severed a gas line while working at a house in the neighboorhood.
