«There was this loud boom. I don’t even know how to describe it,» Koch said. «It sounded like a tree fell, but there was no real shaking except for just that quick second.»

Two other homes were damaged. A utility company crew had to dig up gas lines to shut off natural gas to the property. That allowed firefighters to put out the flames, authorities said.
