    Amazing

    Everyone be thankful that your house is still up, because the one right across the street from me just went up in flames. This was the most insane thing Ive ever seen. I was on my computer playin some poker and through the window saw the attic window on fire. Minutes later, my dad had called 911 and there were about 10 firetrucks total on my street, as well as a couple ambulances and 7 or 8 police cars/fire department cars. I just stood out in my yard watching it, freezing my *** off since I had shorts on, and the thing was burning for about half an hour, in fact there are still some flames coming out of the roof. There were a bunch of people standing around the street too. Fortunately, there was no one inside, and I dont think anyone has been living there for three weeks or so. BTW it used to be the guy that is Sir Purr and the Bobcats mascot that had lived there. Im guessing it was set by a furnace in the attic, because the only other explanation would be arson, and I highly doubt that.

    Anyway Ive had my excitement for week and it just goes to show you how quick this can happen. Within half an hour this house turned into just the outer shell. Somehow all the trees around it didnt catch on fire, which was very fortunate. For all the guys here in Charlotte, you can see me interviewed on the news looking like a goober because of how damn cold it was. My dad got some pictures of it that I might put up later.

    Damn its still going on out there....crazy

      yeah it took them a couple minutes to get there, think we ended up with 4 or 5 different stations arriving. Still out there.
