Disaster Hits Close to Home
A canal that I and my friends have spent many times running, biking, and playing fugitive along in our childhood neighborhood of the Island collapsed yesterday covering one home trapping 3 inside (now presumed dead) and forcing many homes in the surrounding area to evacuate. This has been a little TOO close to home because its a five minute walk from my parents house to where this happened. I am grateful that it didn't effect my family and my friends' families that live on the Island but am truly sorry for the families that this has effected for those who lost their homes and especially for those who lost their family.

Wow that's so scary. I hope everything is ok with your parents home. I'm so sad for the family that was trapped. Sad.
The first thing I said was is Rebe's parents ok. I am so glad they did not get hurt! It is so sad!
