A family of six was left homeless after their house exploded Sunday morning.
Firefighters were called to the home, located on Western Hill Court in southwest Columbus, at about 5:30 a.m.
The explosion was heard several miles away, NBC 4 's Beth Dal Ponte reported.
"We were in bed. Our whole house shook," said Candy Strong, who lives nearby. "I just heard this really loud noise that shook the whole house. I thought someone had run into our house with a car or something"
Some neighbors thought a car crashed into their homes.
Investigators were searching for a cause of the explosion. Gas was shut off to neighboring homes.
Firefighters quickly determined that no one was home, Dal Ponte reported. Neighbors said the couple and four children were all safe.
No injuries were reported.
