    From the Yahoo link above:

    "The incident has the look and feel of a natural gas explosion," said UGI Utilities spokesman Joseph Swope.

    Swope said the 12-inch low pressure main involved in the incident had no leak history and the Pennsylvania-based natural gas and electric company had done a routine check for leaks on that street on Tuesday with no findings.

    I didn't think you could do leak surveys with frost in the ground.
