Well, on Wednesday afternoon I was outside with my kids, and at about 4:30 all of a sudden, out of nowhere, this gigantic billowing cloud of black smoke appeared. Flames jumping out of a house behind mine.
It was my daughter's best friend's house. It's basically gone. Entire neighborhood smelled by nighttime, and my house smelled almost as much as it did 24hrs after my own fire.
It was horrific, and made me both fearful and thankful, for now I can see how much worse it could have been. Thank God the kids were able to get out the back. It must have been terrifying.
