An apparent explosion in a storage container damaged several buildings and vehicles in northeast Bend early Friday morning and sent a loud boom that could be heard for miles, waking people from their sleep.

It happened around 5:20 a.m. at 2524 NE Division. It's in a cluster of businesses along NE Division Street just south of Butler Market Road and west of the Bend Parkway. The exact cause was under investigation.

Central Oregon Daily gathered information from Bend Police, Bend Fire and neighbors on scene.
