one i'm still trying to get used to? how everyone here says taste instead of smell when describing a scent
1) A house exploded one day a couple blocks from me. It was during summer break, so I was home that day. I felt it more than saw it, but I saw the immediate aftermath. A gas line blew, and the house disintegrated. All that was left was a smoking crater, and scorch marks on all the surrounding buildings and cars. The owner was away in the hospital, so nobody got directly hurt, but the residents of the old folks home across the street got a big scare.

I was about 5 years old and was playing on the floor when it rolled underneath me. I don't remember hearing anything, but I sure remember that feeling. The neighbors were walking toward one end of the block and my mom took me and we went with them. It was the house at the T intersection behind us. I clearly remember standing with my mom's hands on my shoulders and I was staring at a janitors' sink in the middle of the road. There was a fireball in the sky and a huge crater where the house was. Just like in your story, no one was home when it happened so no one was hurt. I asked my mom what had happened and she told me the stove exploded. That started an extreme phobia of stoves and other appliances for me that exists to this day.
E-scooters weaving wildly through traffic! vs really loud performance cars and trucks with modifications to make them even really louder! (yes I said it that way on purpose )a 10-day long party involving Western Expansionism stuff - cowboys, country music, agriculture,and the rodeo. YMMV when it comes to enjoying a "state fair" or a carnival. This year's special food is .... Kraft macaroni and cheese soft serve. YES. the mac & cheese sauce packet cold, mixed up in dairy dessert. Where is my barfing emoji
I thought of another thing. Turtles and tortoise on the road. It's common and expected to stop traffic to help a turtle or tortoise across the road. You always take them in the direction they were heading. They sometimes need to cross streets to get to a new water source, or in the case of tortoise, they're just traveling. Turtles are way more common. There are some streets that have turtle crossing signs. There is also duck crossings and Sandhill crane crossings. Sandhills are illegal to kill, even in an accident and I think almost every turtle is protected too. Not sure about the ducks.
