World reports are out that at least two people were killed this morning when a propane tank exploded in Ghent, West Virginia that seriously injured at least nine others, authorities said.

A firefighter and a paramedic were among the injured at the Flat Top Little General Store on Route 19, said Kim O’Brien, spokeswoman for the state Fire Marshal’s office.

The cause of the explosion has not been determined. O’Brien said she’s not sure whether it was a propane tank or a liquid petroleum tank that exploded.

The explosion was felt at least a mile away at The Ski Shop.

“I thought we got struck by lightning. The whole building shook. The power went off,” said Ben Monast, the shop’s manager.
