Thank God that no one was injured. My heartfelt prayers go out to these neighbors of mine who are displaced because of this. The amount of fire trucks and police made it seem like armageddon when they came down Morning View! May these affected families get expeditious repairmen so they can spend Chritmas in their homes.
