August 3

I didn't post on Sunday because within 20 minutes of pulling into our home we were faced with this:




Two sets of neighbors didn't realize that their fence and then garages were on fire until Grumpa alerted them and told them to call 911. He then tried in vain using the garden hose to help put out the fires before it reached one of the houses. Thankfully, only the garages were lost, not the houses and everyone was safe. The winds targeted one home with the fire but the trucks and personnel got there in time. It only recieved minor damage with scorching. One of the garages held a hunter's stock of ammunition. Those shells and bullets exploding were very scary and made us all take cover. When it was all said and done four hours later, one and all were grateful and exhausted.
