A big explosion in North Las Vegas within the last hour appears to be a propane gas store near Nellis Air Force Base. A series of major explosions in Las Vegas apparently was propane tanks stored at the business. A tank would explode then clusters would explode through sympathetic detonation. The end result was huge explosions with fireballs billowing into the night sky.
The unsubstantiated suspected cause of the explosion was a lighting strike; but local meteorologists respond with "What lighting?"
