‘Bright red explosion’ shakes homes, leaves Wilson County neighbors puzzled

WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A large explosion has neighbors in Wilson County puzzled. The loud noise shook houses and lit up the sky late Friday night.

“I mean, we always have curious minds, right?” Jon Jong said with a smile.

This incident, however, has neighbors in the rural area of Lovers Lane in Lebanon stumped.

“I was sitting in bed and then I heard this loud explosion. I mean, actually, to be quite honest, I thought someone had hit the front of our house,” Jong explained, adding that it felt like a truck hit his home, but he didn’t see anything outside.
