We went to bed and then all of a sudden we heard a loud boom. Was it thunder? Nope, we heard sirens after. Turns out that a house 4 or 5 miles away exploded and was leveled, damaging other homes around it. The lady who lived there had called for a gas smell, left the house and it blew up. These are multi-million dollar houses on at a private golf course, one I had attended a luncheon at for my golf season (not that I'm playing there, just had the luncheon there) on Thursday. When I got out of my car there was a horrible smell and I thought it was fertilizer for the course but thinking about it now maybe not. So to make a long story not so short, things happen and once we get all the ins info straight we will move full steam ahead. We won't let the sinkhole stop us from our dream. I hope this helps others who may have the same thoughts that we did but not so much anymore.

Welcome early to another Chicago area family!! I am assuming you're speaking of the mansion in Long Grove that blew up! That was pretty scary for sure. Love the Long Grove area and went there often as I lived in Arlington Hgts. for many years but was born and raised in Chicago. Good Luck on you move when it happens, you'll love this little piece of heaven. I miss a lot the Chicago area has to offer but definitely NOT the snow....LOL Again Welcome!
