DALLAS - The NBC affiliate in Dallas reports there are injuries in a building explosion in Lewisville. There's not much left of the home that reportedly blew up as the result of a gas explosion.

Nearby residents say they saw flames shooting more than 40 feet in the air from the explosion.

No evacuation orders have been issued. There are reports that there was a gas leak reported in the area earlier when a construction crew punctured a gas line, but the all clear had been given from that incident.
