Explosion Rocks Southern WV Town CHATTAROY, W.Va. (AP)
Posted: 11:21 AM Apr 2, 2009 Last Updated: 11:21 AM Apr 2, 2009A | A | A An explosion in southern West Virginia leveled a house, blew doors off their hinges at another residence and shattered windows in up to a dozen other homes and cars.
Mingo County Emergency Services Operator Tim Dixon says no injuries were reported following the 2 a.m. Thursday explosion in Chattaroy.
A member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness says the explosion leveled an unoccupied home two doors up from his church. Larry Cope says the house is now "just a flat piece of ground."
Cope says a mobile home on the opposite side of the leveled house was heavily damaged. He says the blast blew out windows and doors at his house.
The Fire Marshal's Office and several fire departments remained on the scene at mid-morning.

I grew up and live in WV.
I can easily see this happening in Southen, WV. Mingo Co. can be a scary place.
My money says it was a meth lab.

KH's have windows in most places. If where you lived they didn't, it was for crime deterent and insurance reasons.
