Neighbors in Port Richmond are meeting Wednesday night and still seeking answers after an explosion on New Year's Day that leveled two homes, left one ready for demolition and damaged dozens more. Five people were hurt.

It seems like more homes around the 3500 block of Miller Street are boarded up in the aftermath of the blast, which blew out windows at several houses. One person had to be removed from underneath the rubble after Sunday's natural gas explosion. Officials say over 40 homes were impacted.

It will take some time before residents get their lives back on track.
