In case any of you have heard the news this morning, the Barrett street house explosion is practically across the street from us.

Barrett is the road parallel to Blevens, which is the road we live on. We can see everything from our house.
The explosion woke us up - we heard and felt it shake our house.
We immediately got up to see where it came frome. Mike spotted the smoke and then the blaze erupted.
The whole house was engulfed immediately.
Mike called 911, and we're pretty sure we were the first to call. I called a neighbor that I could see did not wake up from the sound to alert them in case the fire spread - because it really did look like it would spread far. The flames were HUGE!
The video in that link was filmed later, so it doesn't even show how truly huge the flames were.
We dressed and ran out of the house to see if we could help, but there's no way we could have helped anyone out of that house. The fire was too much at once.
This was the most upsetting to me. Watching that massive blaze and knowing people were most definitely dead.
I had a hard time maintaining composure.
That's when neighbors told us who lived there. We were all there before fire officials, but their response time was still incredible!
Activity has been constant around here. Every news helicopter you can think of has been flying overhead all morning since 5ish.
Roads are still closed, but we do at least have our hill - Mayflower to get out of the neighborhood.
