Thank you. Just saw one take off on a lifeflight helicopter with the live stream someone posted earlier. |
Thanks for the update…… |

It was huge because it was a 500 gallon propane tank that exploded, with 100 gallons inside at the time.

| I absolutely felt it in Rockville. I was scouring the internet trying to figure out what it was. It woke my husband from a nap. I immediately checked the outside of my house thinking a tree limb had fallen on it. |
Unconfirmed. |
That seems like a lot of propane. Is that legal? |
| So the firefighters had been alerted and were in site prior to the explosion? |
Correct. |
I’m less than 10 minutes from the scene. We have Washington Gas service in our neighborhood, not sure about the house that exploded. |
| What is that much propane stored for at a raise tail house? Not being snarky I legit don’t know. What’s the use of it? |

Very legal and not uncommon for properties outside of a city. More uncommon in the DMV area. |
Sonic booms are not random though. |
| I heard it in Rockville. Didn’t shake my house. But the oddest sound I’ve heard. Thought it was military jet or explosion. |
