Talk about a wakeup call

This morning I decided to head over to my parents house to check up on them as my mom has the flu and my dad was not feeling well either.

As im driving down the street I notice firetrucks and police cars all over the place. I turn down their street and people are everywhere looking at the house thats engulfed in flames. I park my car in my parents driveway and my father and mother are watching the house across the canal.

Around 7:00 AM the house erupted in flames killing 7 college students inside. What most people dont understand and probably wont, is just how close these beach houses are built together. Had the winds been the same direction they were the night before, things could have been much much worse. As it happened, he winds shifted direction and the flames from the house were blowing towards the canal side, and not towards the houses next to it.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved. A truely sad day...

Yeah these 2 forums are the only 2 I post at on a regular basis...

Im still messed up about the whole fire incident. 7 young people lost their lives. I would like to belive that they never woke up.

All I can say is that my thoughts any prayers go out to their friends and families. I dont think ill ever forget it.

Terrible Terrible loss
