Not a Good Morning for North Bend

Maybe some of you have heard about the
explosion here in North Bend. At around 3:30 in the morning
there was a huge explosion and fire  down in town. They don't know
what caused it but are thinking it may be a natural gas leak. It blew the 
whole strip mall to pieces destroying a pizza parlor , dance studio, barber shop 
and many small business's. The windows and sliding glass doors of the apartment across the street blew out and a Les Schwab's huge glass doors blew in and were mangled. 
Debris was found over a mile away. My neighbors woke up to the 
explosion and fire ball  and I slept right on through the whole thing.
So did the puppies. They say it was felt 25 miles away in Issaquah.
I really must have been tired. If you want to see what I slept through...



The pictures from the next day are devastating. Today I was able to see
what was left, which was nothing . Totally leveled. I really feel sorry for everyone. I hope they find the cause soon.
Well I must get back to my painting and puppy training,,,,,
Thanks for the emails and calls, I am just fine. This all happened
 in the town below me.
