Mystery as house explodes in ritzy Austin neighborhood injuring six people
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Six people have been injured after a house was destroyed amid a mysterious fireball explosion in a ritzy Texas neighborhood on Sunday morning.

Austin Fire Department said crews rushed to the scene in Sette Tierra at 11.23am after the two-story property detonated and a car parked outside burst into flames.

The fiery blast was so powerful that 24 homes were damaged in total, while residents 20 miles away in Georgetown reported hearing the sonic boom.

Videos showing the aftermath showed the home was completely destroyed. Austin Fire Department extricated several people from the rubble.

Six people suffered injuries, including two people from the exploded home, two from the house next door, and two firefighters who responded at the scene.

Two residents are in critical conditions, while one is in a serious but stable condition, Austin County EMS public information officer Shannon Koesterer said.

Koesterer added that a fourth resident suffered minor injuries but refused to be taken to hospital.
