Near Death.

So, I was driving home today and had almost made it home when right in front of me, I saw a huge explosion. And when I say explosion, I mean action feature bright orange flames higher than buildings. I was basically stuck on the road I was in so I kept going, driving right by the huge fire. Absolutely in shock, I managed somehow to drive home feeling my entire body shaking. I noticed the whole area was out of power so I called my dad and asked him to check the news and make sure our apartment wasn't in danger of catching fire. Tony had gone for a walk and locked himself out of the house, and he sometimes walks RIGHT by where it happened, but luckily this time he went to a nearby grocery store and didn't even hear the explosion.

We got inside and found out through people updating us on the phone that a small jet crashed, hitting several buildings and many cars. They are still trying to figure out what exactly happened, but they do know the Secretary of State as well as other government officials were on board. Over forty people were injured, still not sure how many are dead. The pictures on TV are really impressive, but I just can't get over the fact I was so close!

You can check out a map here of where I was and where the explosion happened.

Anyway, at times like this you always feel thankful for your life and your loved ones, so I send you all my love!
