I got back from visiting KY and my christmas vacation at home in NY. Well, I believe it was Tuesday night We had a small fire in the attic in our apartment building. It was a interesting ordeal. No one could leave cause this fire engine was in the way. No one told us to leave the building until We decided to come out of our apartment to see what the noise was about. They had to hack a hole into the ceiling in order to get to the fire. Everything is fine and only 2 apartments dealt with damage which i think was more due to water than fire. There weren't even flames... just smoke. But thought i'd share..
So I have lived in Greenville, NC for 4 years now and have never seen real snow here
. Today it snowed ALL DAY... Everything was closed by 3pm which put a damper on my shopping plans... i got the essentials so i guess thats good. Classes were canceled. But being from snow country NY... this snow is NOTHING and it all seems ridiculous to me.
The last week sure has been a crazy one....

Do they know what started the fire? It is funny when you go somewhere that never deals with snow and by some freak of nature they get some and they don't know how to deal. It makes me laugh. We deal with so much that it is just second nature. No change in plans just drive slow and safe right? Good to hear you made it through it all okay.
it was some kind of electrical fire ... no one started it... someone came home from vacation and turned on the heat.... which made a funny smell and knocked out some electrical outlets... smell didn't go away and about 2 hours later the fire dept. was here... because it was taken care of earlier than later a true fire never broke out it was just a lot of smoke ... apparently the one apartment is being worked on for fire damage but i'm not sure what kind of damage that is...
