Dave and I just went back to the accident site. Now the rescue crews have spotlights all over whats left of the house so you can see it better. It's completely devastated. The rumor from the onlookers was that there is a 24 year old girl trapped in the rubble. I don't know if that's true or not.
I crossed the street this time and went around the back of the house diagonal from the wrecked one so that I could see it head on from the parking lot across the street from the exploded one. I kid you not, almost half the house is scattered across the intersection and into that parking lot I was standing in back of. The rest of the house is barely standing. The house immediately to the left of the blown up one has most of its windows blown out. Miscellaneous window frames and screens are strewn about the street and stuck in bushes. The house diagonal from the wreckage has windows blown out. The Cumberland Farms convenience store before you get to the one I just mentioned has a shattered window. I've never seen anything so devastating up close in my life. I never want to again.
I'm still so shaken up, and now I'm wide awake and I really need to sleep. I feel like puking.
When I was leaving I passed a lady I vaguely recongnized, smiled politely at her, then noticed the guy behind her with the camera tripod. Then I realized who she was and blurted out "Hey! She's the nice lady from Channel 13 news!" Duh. She laughed at me. :/
And the damn Yankees lost. Again. I really believe the Red Sox will win the whole damn thing. At this point, I will not put it past them.
*Can't sleep, house might blow up*
My cat is still too scared to move from when the explosion happened. Its been over an hour and the poor thing has this terrified look on his face and he's hiding under the end table in the living room. My poor homeboy. :(
