That was probably a golf cart exploding in the Historic area. Follow the link for a picture.

A 96-year-old Villager said she’s lucky to be alive after her golf cart exploded and caught her house on fire.
Julia Tiedemann was returning from a trip to the postal station at about 5 p.m. Sunday when she pulled into her carport at her home on Aloha Way on the Historic Side of The Villages.
“All of a sudden things started exploding,” she said. “I ran like hell.”
Flames scorched the side of her home. All that remains of her golf cart is a burned-out carcass.
She is grateful to The Villages Public Safety Department for their prompt response.
“They were here before I knew it,” she said.
Yellow tape now marks off the area where the explosion took place. Julia’s car also got caught up in the fire and may be a total loss as well.
“I am lucky to still be here,” she said.
