Explosion in San Francisco

It's reported as a manhole exploding near the Ralph Loren store - corner of Post and Kearny.

I was on the phone with someone when I heard it and the windows of my office shook a little. I'm about 3-4 blocks away on the 25th floor.

So far, one person was sent to the hospital with unknown injuries.....

I hope all of our SF Pelican friends are okay. Any updates on this?? I just saw about 3 seconds of it on Fox.

I'm only several blocks away and never heard a thing, not even sirens.

How'd you miss that? They must have sent at least a dozen fire trucks in addition to all the other emergency vehicles. I know I often don't notice the sirens either, but this was non-stop for at least 20 minutes.

Seems quiet now.

Way too funny.

We had this happen out here. One night late some natural gas lines developed a leak. Blew the manhole covers some 100' in the air. Those things are heavy. Hope only the one person was hurt.
