Oh that's horrible? Was anyone injured??? I work for a show called Disaster House that airs on DIY network. Do any of you know the homeowner? I know this was a few years ago, but we are always looking for real life disaster stories (that haven't lead to death of course) that have been visually documented, with the homeowners willingness to recount to story.
