Explosion rocks Tudor Oval neighborhood

The house exploded around 10:15 p.m. Monday on Tudor Oval, sparking a raging fire.

By daybreak, video showed the roof on the ground and debris scattered all over the yard. 

"We just heard like a big boom, and we came outside to check it out," one neighbor said on the scene. "Then, we ended up just seeing a little fire, but before the fire department got here, it ended up just blowing up a lot bigger."

"We heard a loud boom, explosion. It sounded like a car exploded out front, so we came out front to look at it," said another neighbor. "We came to our driveway, turned around, and then saw flames and the neighbor just screaming, 'fire, it's a fire, call 911!'"

No one was inside the house, and no injuries were reported. Neighbors said they don't think anyone has lived there for the past 15 years. 

Some neighbors decided leave their homes while the cause is under investigation.
