Title: Neighborhood excitement
Post by: rgfixit on Mar 31, 2022, 07:44 PM
Around 4:30 my neighbor came pounding on my door. The house next door was on fire.

Melted the siding on my garage.

If not for a west wind…who knows where we’d be right now.

Managed to get my car down the street before the explosions started. Two melted cars, new camper, lawn mowers and who knows what else.

Yes, they were both home. Word is that he was deep frying French fries in the garage and somehow started the fire. They’re not our friendliest neighbors so we’ll probably never know what really happened. House is totaled.

At least 150 cars down and out of our cul de sac today.

Morbid curiosity I guess.

Maybe I should put out a sign…..$2.50 per car.

Holy crap Bob.
Really glad you and your wife didn't have your house go up too.
Sux for your neighbors, but they didn't get hurt.
Material things can always be replaced.
Still sux though.
I hope they had good insurance.

Thanks Mac. We’re all ok. A bit singed , but not burnt.

It’s been a weird 24 hrs. Must have been 200 lookers drive down the cul de sac today just to satisfy their morbid curiosity.

That is weird, if I had free time today, I would have rather been out fishing instead of "site" seeing.

As stated already, glad everyone is OK.

A guy in a beat up Honda  pulled up, parked and got out of his car late yesterday afternoon. He started to head towards the fence that the fire service people put up around the house. I headed out the door at the same time my neighbor did, both of us thinking the same thing. The guy was casing the house out to see if there was anything he could steal.

My neighbor hollerd at him saying “ this isn’t a tourist attraction” the guy responded that he was “praying”. My neighbor told him to take off or he’d call the police. He got back in his car and sat there for 10 minutes or so looking around. I got pictures of the guy, his car and license plate number.

There’s some weird people out there.

The steady stream of lookers wound down our street again yesterday. Sometimes 2 and 3 vehicles at a time. Guess I just don’t get it.

the guy responded that he was “praying”

He'd be praying to lord .556 round these parts.  Sorry you are dealing with the side effects RG, should be back to normal soon?
