Glad nobody was hurt. But since that is the case, you HAVE to post up some pics of the house! Or the pieces!

Cause? Natural gas? Or Meth Lab?

I knew something went down. I was on the phone with my friend and she had to call me back all of a sudden. She lives only about a mile from there and the cops made her go a different way home. They wouldn't tell her what happened though. Guess that was it.

Hmmm. I didn't hear about that. I live near there.

Oh Phantomzero I see you cruising through Romeoville all the time. Usually going eastbound on airport just west of weber about 1100 hours or so. Saw you Tuesday and Wednesday.

My friend thinks it was planned. Supposedly the house has been up for sale and they can't get anyone to buy. So why not blow the bitch up when no one is home?

I am close to there as well, about 2 blocks or so (11th street). I went by about 6:30 and the road was all blocked off but I saw what was left of the place and all I can say is WOW!
There is a pic on the Tribs web site

The owner WAS home and got burned to ****! Apparently he is in critical condition after being airlifted to some hospital. Either way, ***** messed.
