Glad everyone survived. I know it sounds awful, but I think this happens every couple of years in Toronto, and probably every other major (cold) city as well.
On a positive note, these are definitely the best pictures I have seen yet.

How does this happen? Is it caused by a gas leak then a pilot light or the furnace coming on ignite it? Yep, or any ignition source - thermostat cycling on, for instance. Judging from the pics, I'd say they hit 14:1 air to fuel ratio on the money. Really good thing no one was home. Scott

Most of the time this is propane. It is heavier than air and will pool on the floor and build up. Natural gas is lighter than air and will vent up and disapate easier.
