<div>A pleasant preface, no one died, this shouldn't need a trigger warning.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>A few minutes after midnight on February 1st, a gray Mustang GT curved left on the straight road we live on, jumped a ditch full of water, threaded the needle between our mailbox and the fence post on the East side of our property, blasted across our driveway, used the planter box to the right of my of my front porch steps as a ramp, went airborne through the westernmost load bearing corner of our house, tearing a gaping hole through the bedroom of our 16 year old son, who was asleep in bed along that wall. The purple object sticking through the side of the house is the mattress, and he thinks the fact his sheets were satin and slippery saved him because the sudden high velocity crash tore the bed straight out from under him, and our son landed on the floor inside the bedroom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My 19 year old daughter and I were still awake, her bedroom was missed by a few feet and the car landed in between our house and the neighbor's, tearing through both the fence between our houses, and the panels that provide a barrier to the back part of our property, which has additionally left us vulnerable to B&amp;E as we are currently displaced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It felt like an explosion, and I thought we were under attack. I was in the hallway yelling for my kids, the eldest responded immediately and my youngest took too long to respond. Then he opened his own bedroom door and I grabbed him and threw him into the hall behind me because I had no idea what was on the other side of that door. The room was pitch black and there were red flashing lights, and I reached in and turned on the ceiling light, and there was a man in my child's bedroom. But there was no bedroom, it was a car and it immediately struck me that it had drug my child's bed, out of the house through the wall and broken glass. I screamed so hard, my kid's thought someone was ejected from the car and I'd seen their body, but I was screaming because I knew my child had been in that bed.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the scream alone, let alone the concussions they probably got, I honestly can't blame them for fleeing. I was in a wreck a few months ago that wasn't even that bad and it knocked me senseless enough that I just took off down the street after ducking under the airbag, I just needed to get away from it immediately and didn't even know where I was. People keep assuming I must be so angry and I can't be mad right now, I don't even know what happened.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I did not see them leave, I heard someone on 911 on speaker outside and I was just holding my children, shaking in the hallway. My husband was tearing out of the master bedroom at that point and ran out of the house, he had the most contact with first responders and the neighbors. I hyperventilated for a minute and had to get electrolytes, which helped really fast and at some point I was outside my front door watching the scene with the fire truck, sheriff, lights, random cars passing by, and then a strange SUV pulled in my driveway and two people jumped out and started running towards the car and the hole in my house, past the sheriff and fire dept, until I yelled at them to stop.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Neither of them were who I'd seen wreck the car and the guy asked if anyone was inside the car. It was his sister's, he was pretty sure, and they couldn't get ahold of her and had no idea where she was.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99673533_1770237979376574_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The sheriff stepped in then and I started a livestream, I guess because I didn't want to be alone? I haven't watched it since but the video did catch some of the questioning and I do remember the sheriff saying "This doesn't make any sense."
</div>
<div>No one is in custody as of Wednesday and the sheriff's dept won't tell me if the suspected owner of the car is alright, or if the car was even confirmed stolen, but I did get the case number and had then correct our information because the sheriff (who never even spoke to me let alone looked at me the whole time he was on my property) took my address down wrong and didn't even list me as an owner of the property, after supposedly telling my husband "we know who they are."
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99673533_1770235982162171_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The car was towed and by 3:30am my family was in a hotel. It was the morning after our eldest 19th birthday in fact, so I got her her own room, just for the one night, and she's now temporarily moved into my friend's house near Seattle.
</div>
<div>My husband and I and our 16yo are still in the hotel fairly close to home because we can't turn the power on to part of the house and can't turn on the heat because insulation is inside the ducting in the bedroom that was destroyed.
</div>
<div>We have 4 cats who were unharmed, and another friend of mine is taking them for a couple of weeks, but we're probably going to need to put them in a cat hotel in the near future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>CJ has taken unpaid time off work to deal with insurance mishaps, and with the upfront costs getting a dumpster delivered, hotel, hardware store runs to seal the hallway door that left our whole home open to burglary, the elements and infestation, rehoming one of our children and four pets, we've halfway maxed one credit card within 4 days and the insurance adjuster only coming to take PHOTOS today to BEGIN the claim.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm also being told that the only thing being covered by insurance is structural damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm looking for legal aid, and I might need a PI.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update Saturday 2/7
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99673533_1770500897436127_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our friend helped us cap off live electrical and tarped over the opening last night before the rain started again, but we won't hear anything from insurance until next week (maybe) about whether we can pick our own contractor or if we have to wait.
</div>
<div>We've begun cleaning the inside of the house, there's been fiberglass and other debris tracked all over but it seems like pests have stayed out of the main part of the house.
</div>
<div>This campaign was started several days ago but there were technical issues within the platform and helpdesk had to escalate for recovery after our accidentally got deleted. I'm hoping it actually posts this time
