I just thought I'd post about this since it happened in my town. Apparently there was a gas leak and the building exploded when someone came in this morning and turned a light on. The force of the explosion blew out the windows of shops within a two block radius. There is debris everywhere. They have yet to find the source of the gas leak and are currently digging out the gas lines in the alley behind the business. There are reports of one casualty and no official reports of, but I've heard that there are many people at the hospital injured and the entire downtown area of Bozeman has been evacuated because of toxic fumes. I'll post more info as I find it out.
