What a day. This is a photo of the house across the street from mine. Or, more accurately, what’s left of the house across the street. I was home loading up the van for a busy day in Schaumburg when this house blew up. Literally! You can read more about the story here. The good news is, only 1 injury, to my neighbor Mary, and we think she will be OK, with some burn injuries to recover from. We were evacuated from our homes and couldn’t go back to get our cars, or anything from our house, until about 6pm. The blast occorred at about 10 am. This day was such a great reminder that possessions can be replaced; people can’t.
