Holy crap. Never like to hear of peoples stuff blowing up. That's a lot to lose.

Sorry to hear that your Collection , Workbench and Tracks were a loss. I'm pleased to hear nobody got hurt and you are bouncing back. Happy Hunting my friend !

Glad to hear everyone is safe.   Wow that does suck though.

Holy crap dude...that's insane...what happened?

Wow, that's awful to hear. My tracks are all in my garage too :/

Yikes! So sorry for such a loss. Hope insurance helps out and a full recovery is ahead. Glad nobody hurt. 

Thank God no one was hurt! Been a lot of home explosions on the news in the last couple years. Glad you're all safe

That's rough...echo goodness of no injuries, but that's no fun in many ways. Good luck on the recovery and bullshit that comes with it.
