The cause of the Ohio house explosion is still unclear. There are numerous reasons a house could explode like this. It has been reported that the house used propane rather than gas for fuel. This could be the cause. The Ohio house set alight shortly after it exploded.
People Are Worried About The Cause Of The House Explosion
Many people are wondering why the Ohio house explodes like this without reason. It is a real worry for many as it comes seemingly without warning. It is often fatal, not just for the residents, but also for neighbors. Many have weighed in on the problem online.
One user asks if it was an EV explosion. This would be incredibly unlikely seeing the size of it. However, another X user answers him with a completely unconfirmed report. He corrects them. "No, a furnace explosion. The owner was trying to fix it and failed. He came running out with his hair on fire. According to the report." I don't think this report exists, although he makes a good point.
Another user asks why these houses in the NorthEast of the US have this problem. Clearly, this isn't the first time a house explodes without warning in this area. A user weighs in with their insight stating "In the Northeast? It's usually a Boiler explosion during the winter time; malfunctions or over-pressurized. The boilers are located in the basements. If it's not the boilers, somebody's cooking Meth." They may be right on the latter part.
