Thank you everyone for your kind words & offers. My parents got out of the house safely. The house is a total loss, as well as a few classic cars, lots of classic car parts, many classic/valuable Lionel Trains, all of their personal belongings, etc. They really only have the clothes on their backs & the love/help of family, freinds, etc. I am still somewhat in shock as to what all transpired yesterday. This is the house that I grew up in. It is hard to watch as fire destroys it & then a backhoe tears it apart even more. The fire was still burning last night at 11pm, when I left. Mother Nature does nasty things. My father told me that within 5 minutes of the lightning strike, the house was totally engulfed in flames. ---

I saw your parents house on the news last night (plum right?), like two hours after I posted in this thread perviously. I didn’t expect that much damage, catastrophic loss. I can’t imagine wha that must feel like…hell I get pissed when the vending machine takes my quarters…let alone takes all my life’s belongings. ---

The State Police recognized the two gentlemen who helped my parents out of their burning home. One was a childhood friend of mine who lived across the street, & the other was an off duty State Trooper. > [@yamaha"](#): > > Do your parents live off of 19 Tod? 19 is nowhere near Plum. They lived off of 286. BTW, here is a pic of my dad’s '64 GTO, after it was pulled from the house. Before the fire, this was a nice car that needed very little work. It was _not_ a convertible. ☹ ---
