A natural gas explosion Sunday afternoon left a Noblesville home structurally unsafe to enter.

Around noon, the Noblesville Fire Department responded to calls for a possible residential structure collapse in the 11900 block of Whispers Ridge Drive. Neighbors nearby heard a large explosion that shook their homes, according to a Noblesville Fire Department press release.

The home was under construction at the time of the explosion and no one was injured. The Noblesville Fire Department said the house is a total loss of an estimated $300,000.

All utilities were immediately shut off.
