I get home from class yesterday and my entire neighborhood is filled with police and fire vehicles. They're all around the house 2 down from mine and are blocking my driveway. I had to park in the street, and when an officer came to make sure I'm not just a lookie-loo he told me that my neighbor was welding something and something exploded. It must have been pretty loud, since it brought out people from 2 or 3 streets down. On my way to work I saw a malformed 55 gallon drum in his driveway
That's all the information that I got and can't find anything on the internet, does anyone know anything else?

I live around the corner and it shook picture off the wall. I heard there was one injury transported by EMSA but no other details. Seemed like the entire neighborhood was out there though.
