Last night as usual I was playing chess and at about 10:30, I heard sirens. I got up to get a cup of coffee and when I got to the kitchen, it looked like daylight outside. Then I noticed the lights were flashing. Looking out the back door, I saw a fire truck parked in front of the neighbor's house just north of me...but no fire. So, I got my coffee then looked back ou the back door. Now there was an ambulance. I could see 4 firemen just standing on their porch talking. Then the fire truck left, but the ambulance was still there. Having stood around gawking for about 20 minutes and not really seing much, I went back to the other room. A few minutes later, I heard the sirens going by as they left, apparently taking someone with them.
All the sirens woke Cheri up and I had to tell her what little I saw. People keep moving into and out of that house. I have no idea why. These neighbors only moved in, in December and I hadn't had a chance to do more than wave at them. Can only hope everybody's OK. John
