Explosion levels home in Shelby County

SHELBY COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) - Pieces of a log home litter a country yard in Shelby County after an explosion happened on the 5700 block of W. 1100 N.

Deputies received a call for help at the home just before 8 p.m.Tuesday.

Firefighters rushed to the scene to find a home scattered across a yard.

Four people were inside at the time of the explosion. Two made it to a neighbor's home while the other two were found in a front yard.

All four were rushed to IU Health Methodist Hospital. Their condition is unknown, however, another question remains on what destroyed the house.

Neighbors tell 24-Hour News 8 the homeowner of the destroyed house had her propane tank filled on the same day the blast happened. There are also reports her furnace was repaired earlier this week as well.

"It was like a bomb went off, it just blew up," said Kerry Estes.

Firefighters have yet to determine what caused the explosion. They were back on the scene Wednesday afternoon keeping watch of the scene.

"I'm shocked I have no idea how it happened," said neighbor Marcia Logan.

Drivers slowly passed by the scene hoping to catch a glimpse of the house that once stood.
