Around 3:30 am the Friday after Thanksgiving, the house behind us burned down (the first picture is taken from our back porch). We were still in Texas when it happened thank goodness. I don't think I'd care to have witnessed it. Although, our next door neighbor (his yard is to the right of ours in the above pic) was home and heard and saw nothing. He didn't even know about it until I pointed it out to him.
We still don't know what caused the fire, but apparently there was a problem with 911 and a cell phone. The people got out and
used their cell phone to call 911. The call was routed to the OKC 911 service instead of Moore's service because the cell phone bill went to an OKC address. According to the local TV station, the fire department was delayed by 5-6 minutes due to the misrouting - enough time for the entire home to be destroyed. Its rather sad that the fire hydrant is located in the front yard. So close...
