BOZEMAN, Mont. – An explosion rocked downtown Bozeman Thursday morning, collapsing at least three buildings and prompting evacuation of a two-block area, officials said.

Reports indicate the explosion happened at about 8:15 a.m. in the 200 block of Main Street.

Crews were working to extinguish a fire caused by the explosion.

Boodles restaurant and bar were destroyed, KBZK-TV reported. A police dispatcher said the adjacent Rockin R bar was also destroyed. Police evacuated the two blocks surrounding the businesses, housed in brick buildings.

Jason Shrauger with the Gallatin County Disaster and Emergency Services said it was unknown what caused the explosion or if there were any injuries.

It's sad news but it's not political or religious.

Don't know if this has any significance, but we had some weird shaking and rattling out here in Cali Tuesday night around 9:15 PST...Shake, Rattle and Roll, Orange County Residents Feel Mysterious Boom and Shaking, and it wasn't an Earthquake.

I felt this myself that night and chalked it up to loud trucks or a sonic boom of some sort, but news reports, and military reports confirm no jets or other aircraft were in flight to cause the boom or shaking aftermath.

There is no explanation of what happened or just what it was. 911 call centers around the southland were flooded with reports of windows rattling, and reports of residents claiming sounds of "burglars trying to break in to their homes" at the same time.  ???

Just damn weird...

I farted.  There's your explanation for both events.
