Extremely loud blasts in NW Omaha, Deerwood, Saturday night

Who heard the extremely loud blasts in Northwest Omaha, Deerwood subdivision, Saturday night 1.19.13 between 9 and 10 PM ? Does anyone know the source? There were two of them, close together. I had the sense that the whole house shook (or else I was so startled that I jumped.) A smaller one occurred during the next day, also.

First thought was a gas explosion; second thought was a huge amount of leftover fireworks going off all at once. A few normal sound level fireworks went off later but sounded farther away.

There were more than that. Some [expletive] in the neighborhood likes to celebrate the Fourth of July at random times throughout the year. Started around 3:45 PM.

Could that have been the propane tanks blowing I the house under construction that was in the news?
