Morrell Fox woke up in his bed Tuesday to broken glass raining down on his face. He's one of three families on the Susquehanna Township block who can't return home because of damage.
Morrell Fox, 92, was sleeping Tuesday morning when a violent blast shook his bedroom blowing out his glass windows.
Fox was one of two people injured in the explosion that pulverized his neighbor’s home in the 3200 block of Crest Road in Susquehanna Township. Firefighters evacuated two sisters from that home minutes before it exploded. A firefighter was blown to the ground in the front yard during the fiery explosion.
“The situation that is so surreal right now is you are just inundated with what to do. Also, the things you never thought you would ever have to worry about you have to worry about,” Zimmerman said. Fox is now staying with Krebs and her daughter as he waits to hear if he can return to the home where he’s lived for 60 years.
Restoration company C&Z Construction was on site Wednesday assisting three homeowners, including the Barbers, said Bryan Scott, director of claims.
