Tonight, a dangerous inferno erupting in a northeast Ohio neighborhood.

Out of the house. 
>> This is the moment it ignited. 
Families in Canton jolted awake before dawn. 
Sparks flying through a cloud of smoke. 
>> Oh my god. 
>> Neighbors stunned as they try to figure out what just happened. 
>> Man, the whole house shook.

>> We have a total destruction of the house. 
>> Fragments of that home blasted as far as two football fields away. At least six other homes damaged. Some residents forced to evacuate. Daylight revealing the full field of debris. The fire department says that two men were rushed to the hospital, including one with burns to 80% of his body. 
>> The first individual was actually blown out of the house. 
>> Officials say it was a natural gas explosion and that the home was supposed to be vacant and for sale. Now they're investigating what caused that blast. 
As a neighborhood recovers after being rocked by a shocking explosion.
