I can't tell from that pic but was that a semi, as in is the other semi totally gone?

Was attached I'm pretty sure so the other one is completely levelled

Scary shit gas. Makes me wonder how good the pipes in and around my house are, not just mine but others close.

which is why you should get regular safety checks done, landlord or not.Although admittedly that would only tell you the state of the ECV and everything yourside of the meter

I'd hate to be a wheelchair user on that street, given how they park their cars:

It wasn't a joke. Can't be too careful these days.

Watched 4 lions the other day. Was a real eye opener.

Why joke?

Yeah, was in very poor taste in hindsight

I'm 2 minutes away from it nearly shat me pants, never seen so many ambulance and police in me life flying past mine

I'm up in the estate next to the roundabout going up go the hospital and it shook my house too.

To be fair, I heard the sirens around 1 or 2 minutes later, so a fantastically quick response by the emergency services.

The sister of the person living there has posted to say they all got out. But her sister has been lifted to hospital.

Aye they were on the ball like all flying past mine within minutes, had 2 air ambulance on the field out the back of mine next to the new park, ones just left not sure if anyone was taken in it

when you see the remains of houses after gas explosions, normally it does a lot of damage but the shell of the house tends to still be there... for almost the entire house to have gone seems extreme... hope there was no one in it, or next door...
