We have had a house fire. Our house.
Girl woke me up and I got both kids out while dailing 911.
By the time the fire department got the water on the fire, our roof was burning.
Typing from a neighbor's computer. At least four of the cats and both dogs died from smoke. THe kids are okay. I don't know how much art I've lost.
We lost almost all our books, DVDs, entertainment stuff. NOt important. I lost a pice of art I did fifteen years ago on a beautiful morning when I couldn't sleep.
I have no idea how much or what in my studio is burned or damaged.
We're trying to find some place to stay and some clothes. I am typing in my jammies.
ABout half the house burned, and the rest is smoke-damaged. Mama dog was in the bedroom, farthest from the fire and still died from the smoke. My sweet Yuki is gone, too, and Sprocket, Mimii, Mocha and Frap.

Lea, I'm sorry for the losses. All of them.
I'd imagine clothing's likely to be the easiest to fix yourselves up with at the moment, but e-mail me with the relevant info when you can if it isn't.
Other stuff can be figured out as you go.
Lea, I'm so sorry for all your losses, and so thankful that you and your kids are well.
When you get organized, let me know how to help.
Wishing you and your family as easy a time as possible as you get back on your feet post-fire.
That's so horrible! I am so sorry to hear about your poor pets. I am desperately glad that you & the kids are okay, though.
I'm so sorry for your losses, Lea, but I am very glad the human members of your family are okay.
If there's anything I can do (trite, I know - sorry), let me know.
I'll hope you let us know what we can do for you.
Christ, Lea I'm so incredibly sorry. I'm glad you all are ok, and you have my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved pets.
I'm with Kady. As soon as things are vaguely organized, I'd like to know how I could help.
Please let us know if there's anything we can do.
Thank goodness you guys are okay, but the poor animals... that's devastating.
I'll keep you in my prayers.
