To give thanks

[ALLISA]

All over the news here in Massachusetts is the terrible fire that took place this morning....gasoline tanker tipped over in the middle of the night, 9,000 gallons of gasoline spilled into the streets and instantly ignited....causing a river of fire to roll through a neigborhood. Houses were destroyed, 40 cars that were parked in the streets exploded and added to the fire and chaos at 1:45 AM. The whole neigborhhod evacuated and THANKFULLY , miracurously no one was injured.

After watching the continous coverage .....I saw MY COUSIN being interviewed !! She was staying at her boyfirend's house and they were in the midst of it !

Here is link....not sure if it will still be on or not as they update their stories costnatnly.....her boyfriend is the young guy in the clip that is titled "evertt explosion evacuues speak about ordeal" and she is the blonde in the clip titled " no serious injuries in Everett tanker explosion"....she's not the girl in the phot, but they show her briefly later ( blonde with glasses).

I can't imagine the terror of waking up to seeing fire literally flow down the street igniting and exploding cars as it passes. And you are being told by police, 911 operators etc to leave the house immediately, go outisde in 10 degrees weather ( yes out to where the fire is !)

Saying a prayer of thanks that my sweet, smart cousin is okay today !!

Wow. Now that's scary. It is quite miraculous that everyone escaped that! That they all could evacuate in time is just a miracle. Thank God, indeed.
