Sheeeiit! That was loud!

That massive explosion shook our house way over here in Brushy Creek (west side of Round Rock) - rattle our windows - and everyone came out on our block gawking around. 5 minutes later a Sam Bass FD truck with sirens blaring and lights flashing was speeding around our streets looking for the source .

Just looked at Google maps - that house is about 9 miles from our street! Jfc!

RIP to any victims.

One theory is propane tank explosion. 
 

I live close enough to that house to where I would walk past it daily during Covid as part of my exercise regimen. It was totally rebuilt since it was last sold in 2020.

That’s at least pretty close to what Reddit claimed.

my sister drove over there and it blew in the garages and windows of all the houses around it and across the street… and there was blood on the doorway

Apparently by Aggie engineers?

I live close, thought I ran over a basketball and then saw all the neighbors outside.  I counted five ambulances, two fire trucks, and countless sheriff’s department vehicles.  A ton of neighbors were headed to DK Ranch to watch.

The address of 10407 Double Spur might not be correct.  That might be across the street from the collapse.  The reason I say that is the last picture above is taken from across the street.  10407 has that rock wall.  10410 did not.image.thumb.png.f8e0907ff8102d82f174e62b59f2db88.png

My close friend lives on Yaupon a few hundred yards from the explosion and is there now. As others have said windows are blown out frOm houses nearby, and garages mangled. Bizarre

Pretty powerful explosion to do that. 

Well hell yes, it shook our house next to Round Rock, scaring the crap out of us….and we are 9 miles away.
