Danvers officials allowed some residents to return to their homes to gather their belongings, but others were not allowed back in. Town Manager Wayne Marquis said Riverside and Bates streets will be closed for "several days" until inspectors can assure the safety of the damaged homes.

Marquis said Town Hall will be open at 10 a.m. tomorrow and Saturday with federal, state and local officials available to help residents affected by the explosion.

The future is uncertain for many in the neighborhood, including Mary Scorzoni of Riverside Street. Her home received relatively minor damage, but it came at a particularly bad time. She is scheduled to close on the sale of her house Wednesday.

"I'm hoping the guy still wants that waterfront property," she said.
