      @@Hey_Blinkin the gas main was hit by the contractor boring underground, if it can’t vent straight out of the ground to the free air it will travel the path of least resistance.
      The gas service or any thing else that was trenched or bored to the home was the path it took. It basically followed the small void in the ground from service lines running to the house.
      It followed along the outside of the service line underground up to the house
      This is what I do for a living so I expect this is what happened, but I’m not the gas company or the contractor that hit the main

      It can come in through the sewer, and come up through the drain thats in you basement, and that drain is usually a few feet from your furnace and water heater, any one of them tries to come on, than boom it ignites the gas filled basement. This same thing happened in another ofallon neighborhood back in february of 2021. Many say the gas traveled through the sewer, but ehy did no one eles house blow up?

      It's possible. There was a house that exploded nearby me, back in Jan 2005 at about 5:30 AM. The house was only 3 miles from mine, and I heard and felt the explosion. It pushed the house next door to the exploded house, off its foundation. Both homes are gone now. The family was in the house asleep at the time of the explosion, all survived. They were tossed here and there but they DID survive.
