“The Ground Shook”: Witnesses Recount Poway Building Explosion

NBC 7’s Dave Summers reports that witness Ray Butcher estimates the chunk of metal is the size of a catchers mitt.

After an explosion shook a Poway business on Wednesday afternoon, many people took to social media to share what they heard or saw.
