Izzy's First Evacuation

This is what we woke up to this morning.... Mommy thought it was construction noise and rolled over to go back to sleep. Daddy was changing Izzy and saw the flames out the window. Two teenage kids were arrested (and hopefully will be rightfully punished). Thankfully our existing neighbors have only minimal damage - broken windows, doors, and smoke damage. Two six packs of townhomes will need to be torn down, and there is some damage to two more sets that are being constructed on the other side of the street. The sidewalks and alleys are ruined with all the ash. It is a sad day for Capital Village.

Estimated damage = 1.5 million
