Now that the fires have subsided, I’d like to just thank everyone who called in, texted, and emailed their concerns. It meant a lot to me. My parents’ place survived the fires by the skin of its teeth. Our pool deck was partially burned, entire backyard burned, and my mom’s window was smashed. Our pool was nearly drained of all its water, which means firefighters were pumping our pool water. Huge kudos to all the firefighters, police, sheriff, and National Guardsmen risking their lives to protect life and property in SD. I can’t thank them enough. All in all, 29 homes burned in my parent’s neighborhood. Here are some pics of the aftermath and neighborhood taken with my parents’ camera (my old Canon G5). For those of you that know my neighborhood, the large white house with the tennis court completely burned down, including 2 Mercedes parked in the garage.
