last night we were driving home and suddenly there was a huge explosive
noise accompanied by a yellow flash coming from under the car. The hazard
lights came on automatically. we thought we had blown a tire. Stopped and
checked and all was ok. we could find nothing wrong and drove it home
without incident.

I think you had a massive back fire. Check the exhaust system for leaks.
