FIRE!!!

AFTER CHURCH ON SUNDAY I WAS LOOKING OUT OUR WINDOW AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW....FIRST A SPARK, THEN THE POWER WENT OUT, THEN FLAMES!! THE WIND WAS REALLY BLOWING AND IT BLEW A GIANT TREE DOWN... THANK GOODNESS NOT ON OUR HOUSE!! IT WAS CRAZY HOW FAST IT HAPPENED!! IT WAS A LOT WORSE BUT WE WERE TO BUSY TRYING TO PUT IT OUT TO GET SOME OF THE REALLY GOOD PICTURES SO THESE ARE THE PICTURES OF THE FLAMES WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS I REALLY BELIEVE IN HAVING FOOD AND WATER STORAGE NOW!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE IF IT WEREN'T FOR OUR WATER STORAGE! WE ARE ALL ON WELL SYSTEMS SO WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT SO DOES THE PUMPS! EVERYONE FROM DOWN THE STREET CAME RUNNING TO HELP! HELPING DUMP WATER, RACKING, WATCHING OUR KIDS! NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS QUITE EXCITING! I WAS ABOUT TEN FEET FROM OUR YARD AND THEN IT JUMPED THE DRIVE WAY AND STARTED OUR YARD ON FIRE AND ABOUT 50 YARDS FROM OUR HOUSE! YIKES! THAT'S WHEN WE DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION! GOOD THING WE WENT TO CHURCH THAT DAY!
