Neighbors say the explosion that caused multiple rowhomes to collapse in the Nicetown section of Philadelphia Sunday morning woke them up and shook their homes. "It just sounded like a bomb, a large bomb. A very large bomb," said Jamil Harris, who lives in Nicetown.

A fire and explosion were reported and three rowhome buildings collapsed in Philadelphia's Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood early Sunday, sending at least two people to hospitals, officials said.

Two women have been injured after an explosion and a fire at three buildings in a Philadelphia neighborhood early Sunday morning, according to the city's fire department.
