SOMEthing just blew up down the block, a bang big enough to shake the house and rattle all the windows. L thinks that a lot down the block where a new house is being built was responsible; she remarked that when she’d walked by it a couple of days ago, she’d noticed a natural-gas odor.
ETA: And here come the fire engines, five minutes later. I only hope it’s not something for which they have to evacuate the block.
ETA2: The commotion turned out to be a little farther away, and down 47th rather than Avenue H. However, there’s a parade of people in various states of dress and undress walking up 47th in the direction of Away from whatever’s going on, and toward us, so we could still have some excitement.
There was an explosion – everyone started to run. Fnord.
