Explosions rock Excelsior home

EXCELSIOR, Minn. (AP) -- Authorities say several explosions have rocked a home in Excelsior, leaving the building engulfed in flames.

WCCO-AM reports the explosions happened about 3:55 p.m. Monday at the home on the 100 block of Lakeview Avenue, which is just southwest of Lake Minnetonka.

A message left by The Associated Press with the Excelsior Fire Department seeking more information was not immediately returned Monday afternoon.
