I hope she sues the shit out of the homeowner for not maintaining her home and gas tank.

What evidence do you have of that?

The exploded house?

You can have your tank inspected yearly and still have a leak happen.

We had ours inspected and less than a week later the alarm started sounding for a leak.

I too don’t understand the propane tank because we have gas. It’s a very, very residential area. This house is older and in a different neighborhood than me.

The house is leveled and it looks like a war zone. I heard 14 fire departments were reporting. One firefighter deceased, 9 injured (and I heard some of the unities were very bad burns), 2 civilians injured.

There is a natural gas line 150' from my house. It will cost several thousand dollars to get connected. A propane tank would be cheaper.

Okay but have you ever compared the cost of fueling a house with propane vs natural gas??

Propane has twice the energy density. So, it must be competitive or people wouldn't use it.

I’ve only ever heard of people using it when they want gas but don’t have access/are not tapped into a natural gas line. In my experience it’s pricey. Plus you have to get it delivered to your house, you don’t want the tank to run too low in the winter, the price fluctuates a lot, if you don’t own your own tank you’re stuck paying the rate set by the company who owns the tank (this is actually a very common scenario in Loudoun)…

Yes, it's also a pain to get a tank removed if you want to own your tank and be able to use the cheapest for refills. Some companies who own the tank will not permit it to be filled by any other companies.

Propane homes are very big in Western Loudoun. My childhood home is like this and I can remember lots of screaming calls between my dad and the propane company. AmeriGas is particularly terrible about removing their tanks, especially underground ones.
