There is many households all over the northern US where it's standard to have these types of tanks for heating, usually along with firewood. On average 600 total propane explosions happen each year in the US. A large majority are from the 20lb propane grill tanks.

215k car explosions occur each year in the US. These explosions are much more powerful than a 20lb propane tank explosion. Should people panic if they see a couple of cars in someone's driveway, or even worse parked in a garage?

Wow! Wait until the two ladies in a golf cart with their clipboard see that! Those tanks will be history (unless maybe they paint a white cross on them).
