Not the way I like to wake up.
The morning news reported it as a body shop on fire. Turns out it was the building next door. Everything here is fine 'cept for an inch of water everywhere and the smell of burnt wood and air conditioning equipment.
I sure feel like I got lucky and dodged a bullit.

Yowza, close call. Glad you made it through unscathed.

Buy a lotto ticket today. Glad it did not spread to your shop.

Jeez Louise, that would get your heart going. Makes you want to pick up every rag and douse it, huh?

Thankfully I have the shop camera that I could look in on the place from home. Everything looked fine but the shop and my office was flooded when I got here. Still I'm feeling lucky to only have the flooding.
