KUSA — A little after 4 p.m. on Friday, Jo Ann Greer said a neighbor knocked on her door. She had a warning about a gas leak at Country Place 4 in the Heather Gardens community where they both lived.

About an hour later, her home exploded.

"It was like everything went up, and everything came down, and the house imploded on us," Greer said.

I live in this complex, about 1 block from the explosion. I didn't hear the explosion, but I sure as hell felt it. I thought it might have been an earthquake, but found out later it was a gas explosion.

COMCAST has been doing a fiber optic cable installation and the company doing the underground drilling had punctured 2 gas lines in 3 days. Unfortunately one person died in the explosion. The installation has been halted by the PUC, thankfully.
