From Nick Sortor--
🚨 WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THE ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA HOUSE EXPLOSION
Timeline of events:
➡️ Around 4:45pm Tuesday, Arlington County, VA police were called out to a report of “possible shots fired.”
➡️ Once officers got to the scene, they became aware that a man inside the home had fired a flare gun out the window 30 to 40 times
➡️ The owner of the home, James Yoo, then barricaded himself inside and refused to make contact with police.
➡️ As a result, they obtained a search warrant, and while attempting to execute it, the suspect fired multiple shots at the officers from inside the home.
➡️ Then, at 8:45pm, an explosion occurred, leveling the entire property.
— WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION?
The exact cause of the explosion or how it was triggered has not yet been made public. I have however confirmed that this home DID have natural gas hookups and appliances
Based on the videos, it seems the explosion originated in the basement, but I cannot confirm this.
Michigan House Bill 5711, which would roll back the state’s clean energy mandates for utilities, has cleared the House Energy Committee and is headed to the full House for a vote.
If approved there, it would move to the Senate for consideration.
🚨The Village of Birch Run, Michigan doesn’t record or live stream their public meetings. They’re not legally required to, but I think it would be something good to do for transparency. I talked to the village president who did not want to touch the issue.

That didn’t take long. Gas has hit basically five dollars a gallon here off of Saginaw Road in Bay City, Michigan. #MichiganGasPrices #GasPrices
The USGS says a magnitude 2.9 earthquake hit about 7 km south southeast of Amherstburg, Canada, just across from the Detroit area. It happened at a shallow depth of about 2 km.
Did you feel anything in Mid Michigan or Metro Detroit?
