S'mores Anyone?

Well it's been a long cold two days. Last night after Gary got off work we headed up to Costco to look around and grab some dinner. When we pulled in the drive I noticed an orange glow coming from behind the furniture/paint store. Well as soon as we pulled into the drive a little further we found out what it was from.

Consumers Energy had been doing some work at the top of the street and hit a gas line. The flames were close to 30 feet tall. It wasn't too long after that, that the firetrucks and police cars started showing up. Two fireman came to the door to check the inside of the house for gas. The flames burned until almost 3 am, at which time they shut off the gas. Well no gas meant no heat. The gas was suppose to be turned back on by this afternoon but they hit a sewage pipe in the process. So here I sit at the in-laws. Hopefully everything will be cleaned up by morning.
