I heard it in Rockville. Didn’t shake my house. But the oddest sound I’ve heard. Thought it was military jet or explosion.

Sonic booms are not random though.

That seems like a lot of propane. Is that legal?

Very legal and not uncommon for properties outside of a city. More uncommon in the DMV area.

I’m less than 10 minutes from the scene. We have Washington Gas service in our neighborhood, not sure about the house that exploded.

Correct.

So the firefighters had been alerted and were in site prior to the explosion?

Unconfirmed.

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.

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