Yeah, LPG has a boiling point of minus 42. When it boils from leaking out into regular temps, it expands to vaporized gas (still ignitable) at an expansion rate of 270 times.
I would have been standing REALLY far back.

Anyone who works for a bottled gas company can list off all kinds of stats like that. My brother in law works for Airweld (welders in NYC have probably heard of them) and I've learned quite a bit of stuff from him.
