No. That looks like RACER X's neighborhood after he asked for the fire department to come out and unlock his doors for the 35th time.

30 homes need to be demolished? Doesn't look that widespread in the picture.

It all depends where the rupture was (line pressure) and how much gas was built up at the time of ignition.
Have to agree with fatbuck though, having 31 homes deemed uninhabitable after that seems like a stretch. Does a cracked window or debris on the room constitute a teardown and rebuild in Indiana? |

I'm sure there are several houses that are "OK" but would YOU sign your name on a house (as a federal disaster inspector) anywhere near the explosion and allow a family to live there, and there be even a slight possibility that the baseplates cracked at the foundation anchorbolts behind the sheetrock? Hell knowing the way these crackerboxes were slapped together on a slab to BEGIN with I'm not sure I'd clear a house 20 miles AWAY for habitation given the potential for high winds in Indiana!
