3 Dead, 39 Homes Destroyed after a Gas Leak in Evansville, IN Leads to a MASSIVE Explosion

Via CNN:
(CNN)Three people have died and at least 39 homes were damaged after an explosion in Evansville, Indiana, Fire Department Chief Mike Connelly said in a news conference on Wednesday.

"There could be other victims, we have not completed our search," Connelly said. "The buildings are not yet safe to enter."
The initial survey shows that 39 houses have suffered "severe to minor damage," the chief added.
The chief later told reporters that 11 of those 39 homes were left uninhabitable, adding that the American Red Cross will be helping those affected families.
Evansville is about 3 hours southwest of Indianapolis.
In a post on Twitter, Mayor Lloyd Winnecke shared photos from the scene showing destroyed and damaged homes and piles of debris and said first responders and local departments will "keep residents in the Willemette Village/Wesselman Park neighborhoods safe and informed."
The mayor told CNN affiliate WFIE that the scene was "devastating" and that it will likely take a while to figure out what happened.
"I'd seen photos that have been placed online, but once I walked up to the residence itself and saw the devastation with my own eyes, it was, I mean, it was a gut punch," Winnecke said.
"Across the street from the explosion you'll see house after house that has windows blown out, that has you know there's insulation blown out from homes," the mayor added.
