If it was the gas to the water heater leaking, it makes you wonder how long the problem was going on. The gas sinks to the ground, which is why water heaters are raised at least 18 inches above the ground. How does enough gas accumulate to explode?

Maybe the water heater was not working but the gas kept running and the source of the ignition with something else? Seems like you would smell it.
That was a BIG explosion so it would have to be A LOT of gas.
