My brother Bryce and his family have been through an unbelievable experience. Last night their home in Greenville Texas (that they moved into 22 days ago) was struck by lightning and caught on fire.
This happened amidst the Texas 100 Year freeze where they were fighting for their lives with no power and water pipes bursting in their home.
Bryce said the thunder and lightning last night was more intense than he'd ever heard.
Then there was a
Crack ......Crack ......BOOOM!!!
Brittani heard a water leak sounding like it was coming from the roof. Immediately the thought GET OUT OF THE HOUSE NOW! prevailed.
They started to see smoke coming from the vents on the top floor. Then water started coming in.
They were fortunate to have made it out of the home, and no one was injured. Their sweet seven year old grabbed his baby sister out of her pack and play and ran out of the house into the rain. He said "Mom, please don't be mad I left my (Nintendo) switch and grabbed sissy instead." Later that evening, while enroute to their hotel, they nearly escaped death when lightning struck again. They saw a green flash of light and their caravan shook. ⚡⚡
Although their insurance will likely cover most things, this is a devastating loss.
This month alone they moved from
Arizona to Texas and Brittani's grandfather, (whom Bryce and Brittani had lived with as a young married couple) passed away. As soon as they arrived in Texas, she jumped on a plane to attend the funeral. Upon her return the severe weather that affected Texas, left them without power, heat or clean water.
We feel so helpless since many states separate us. We're hoping to lighten their burden and send some love and support their way.
