So sorry for my fellow Evelynton Loopers.
My dog Beau and I just walked by it about 30 minutes ago and there is still a very strong smell of smoke.
This summer has seen the worst storms in this area of the Villages since we moved here in June of 2005. Our house was hit by a lightning strike last month but it just threw out the circuits-- fried them beyond repair-- and knocked out the cable (TV/Internet but not phone). We also probably lost the ice maker in the refrigerator.

Just checked on the Villages map to see how far I am actually from the house that partially burned down the other late afternoon. It is about 1/4 of a mile according to the map and its scale and my ruler.
Still pretty close (1320 ft) but not as close as I had thought after walking past it the morning after it happened.
I am praying for my fellow Evelynton Loopers quick emotional recovery from this Act of God.
