I was just on the phone with my dad and fh was on the phone in another room. All of a sudden I heard something that sounded like an explosion. It was in the distance but definitely BIG...Not kidding - I thought I felt my building shake! Then FH told me he heard it and felt it too! Now there are Sirens!!! We live in the Bayside/Auburndale area of Queens. I hope everything is okay!

salt corroded wires underground and caused an explosion. people are without power but i don't think there are any injuries.
i thought it happened in the west village though--maybe it's 2 different things?

You are right, I definitely doubt it is the same thing - It wasn't THAT far in the distance. Things do seem calm now though.

My FI works for the press and this is all he found on explosion today, Happy to hear no one was hurt
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) — A meth lab in the basement of a home exploded Tuesday, leaving a man dead, city police said. Joshua Lamberg, 28, was found in a bedroom of the basement after a fire at 2:10 p.m. in the one-story home. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. “The door to the room was shut and the fire had no place to go,” Assistant Fire Chief Larry Ostanek said. “It eventually burned completely through the door. We had the fire out in a matter of minutes after we found the source.” April Tambeau, 25, who lives on the first floor, was treated at the scene. Detective Joseph Cornell said Lamberg had been staying at the home for only two weeks. Authorities were planning to remove any hazardous materials from the area on Wednesday.

It happened on 167th street and Northern Blvd (which is actually Flushing). Again nobody got hurt, it was due to the salt and melting snow erroding the wires, which caused the explosion.
