The explosion occurred Monday afternoon and everyone was rescued from inside the home.

Three people were taken to the hospital where one later died.

Officials say the house was leveled, the houses on each side were severely damaged, and homes even blocks away felt the effect.

“I tried to open the doors up, but the doors were shifted close. I couldn’t get the side door open, back door open, or the front door open. Everything was jammed,” neighbor Jeffery Blount says.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined.
