Severe thunderstorms came through last night.

Heard several fire trucks in the neighborhood.

Went to investigate.

A house on the water was burning ferociously — stuck by lightening.  The flames seemed out of control on the roof.

I couldn't take photos — not of someone else's tragedy.

I just stood there, helpless and dumbfounded.

Thinking if it had been my house, what would I have done?

I need to get my photos out of here and into safe place.
