NORTHVILLE, Mich. I can tell you, I heard a big bang around 12 something, like lightning or something that hit someplace, said Katherine Lawrence. Thats when she went to her window, I can see my neighbor next door, flames coming from the back of the house, said Lawrence. She knocked on her neighbors door to try and wake them up, Pound, pound and you could just see the flames coming in there, theyre an older couple. They finally came out, and I just went from house to house, and bang on their doors, to wake them up. From the flames, you could see sparks going up and I heard a boom, like something inside the house might have exploded, said Foley.
