Scary, Scary, Scary!

The other night as we were coming out of a movie we recieved a call from a friend telling us we needed to drive towards Columbia Village, that there was a fire. I knew we had had a really bad wind storm earlier that evening and assumed it knocked power lines down or something. Not even close.... we can see part of Columbia Village less than 2 miles from our house so we drove down Federal Way and pulled off the road where numerous others were were doing the same thing we were.

Not only is this not a very good picture but it was after they got control of the fire. I think there were 12 houses damaged, 3 of which were completly destroyed. Along with that we lost a linguistics professor from BSU and a few animals. Nearly 100 families were evacuated until the following day. The fire had started on the hillside below the neighboorhood but as the wind picked up it just completly overtook the houses above. Once again, just proof that life can change in a heartbeat.
