Natural gas explosion destroys Wichita Falls home, injures woman
A natural gas explosion destroyed a Wichita Falls home Sunday night and sent a woman to the hospital.
Assistant Fire Marshal Eddie Mawson said the blast happened about 8:40 p.m. at a house in the 1600 block of Christine Road in southeast Wichita Falls.
When firefighters arrived they discovered the walls of the house had been blown out and the structure was partially collapsed.
The explosion did not cause a fire, but Mawson said the house, worth an estimated $177,000, was a total loss.
Mawson confirmed the explosion was caused by a gas leak.
A woman in the house was taken by ambulance to United Regional Health Care. Her condition had not been released Sunday night.
