It's All Gone

We headed home and met my parents to have them take the kids so we could go to the house and meet with the Police and Fire Department. This is what we saw as we walked down the driveway:

 

In a matter of moments our home and memories and stuff were gone.  Burned.  Ashes.  Gone.  It was utterly breathtaking and absolutely unbelievable.  There was not a window left in the house.  As you can see from the picture below you could see right through the entire house.  This is taken from the back of the house through to the front.  It was absolutely horrifying.  Your worst nightmare coming true and you aren't going to wake up from it.

 



 

We found out from talking to the Fire and Police that fire trucks from about 8 different communities responded to the fire and a second alarm was called about a half hour after they arrived.  From the time our neighbors called 911 to the time our volunteer fire department arrived 12 minutes later, our house was completely engulfed in flames.
