Investigators believe a leak in a natural gas line caused the explosion in the 23 hundred block of Green Avenue.

The homeowners were away but two neighbors received injuries from flying glass.

The Railroad Commission is trying to determine if natural gas was involved and if any pipeline safety rules were violated.

It's also trying to learn if any recent construction might have been a factor.

The investigation will take about 45 days.
