Local and federal authorities are investigating. (The Associated Press)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nashville authorities report what appears to be a vehicle based explosion that occurred early Christmas morning. The explosion damaged buildings, vehicles, and other property in the immediate area. Additionally, residents felt the explosion from where they were at the time of the explosion. One resident described the windows as having exploded &#8220;into the next room&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From the New York Post:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mayor John Cooper, who toured the scene, described broken glass and water mains with insulation \u201cblown up\u201d into the trees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like a bomb went off,\u201d said Cooper, adding that the downtown area will be \u201csealed off\u201d during the investigation and to make sure everything is \u201ccompletely safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne more event in Nashville\u2019s 2020,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>Buck McCoy, who lives nearby, posted videos on Facebook that show water pouring down the ceiling of his home, CNN reported. People are heard shouting in distress as alarms blare in the background.<\/p>\n<p>McCoy said the windows of his home were completely blown out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll my windows, every single one of them got blown into the next room. If I had been standing there it would have been horrible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were about four cars on fire. I don\u2019t know if it was so hot they just caught on fire, and the trees were all blown apart,\u201d McCoy said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Federal agencies are working with local authorities to investigate this explosion.
