RAW: Early morning explosion destroys homes under construction in Orléans

[@KunalDebChandra]

Heard a loud boom and I thought it was dump truck getting into an accident near Brian Cobourg Street.

[@Shineci]

Holy shit i heard it im in orleans right now convent Glen

[@Its.mikhaila]

We live close to the explosion site….The impact threw me out of the bed, I thought the whole house was wrecked!!

[@B4LEES]

My cousins house was close to the explosion and the house windows got broken on back yard and cabnits got ripped apart from the walls

[@AGM-ts5bb]

This is so tragic.

[@JeffreyTre]

Actually wasn’t that bad. For the most part only homes with no occupants were fucked and only 2 injured but stable

[@JeffreyTre]

This will make people realize not to take the gas pipes as a joke. I’ve seen parents allow their kids to swing in the pipe in the basement

[@lamar7bn]

Electricity should be more affordable for heating houses, every single house with natural furnace is a ticking bomb

[@DoublechecktheY]

I'm just wondering all the flashes in the other homes? I felt it down the hill.

[@SomeRandomLad]

probably the fire alarms got tripped

[@DoublechecktheY]

@@SomeRandomLad your right didn't think of the alarms. Strobes.
