Danielsville isn’t all that far away (roughly 15 miles) from Allentown, PA, where the cause of a 2011 natural gas explosion that killed 5 was determined to be the very old pipes used by utility company UGI. IMO, it’s possible they might be to blame for this explosion, too.

Lehigh Valley 2011 Top Stories: #1: Gas explosion kills 5 in Allentown

One quote from that article that stood out to me:
“UGI has admitted much of its pipes are old, outdated and need replacing. This raised fears something like this could happen again. ‘If I were not only a resident of Allentown, but of the Lehigh Valley I would be quite concerned,’ Allentown Mayor Ed Palowski said.”

Also, I believe there’ve been some efforts in PA over the last 5-6 years to pass a statewide ban on “fracking” (hydraulic fracturing to produce natural gas), but IIRC they’ve been as yet unsuccessful. I mention this because one of the state’s most desirable areas for “fracking” (a huge mineral deposit known as “Marcellus Shale”) is located just a bit north of the upper Lehigh County area where this explosion happened.

Just some ideas, and, as always, MOO!
