I have some sad sad and devastating news, We are saying Final GoodByes To My Memaws House in Shaw,Ms that we all loved, didnt plan on saying goodbye to and hate to have to say Goodbye to that house under such sad circumstances,
Please pray for my family and I- my dads side of the family, my dad's mother- my memaw, her house in shaw,ms burned down lastnight. We are all very devastated but thankful that she is okay, thats all that matters to us right now.
She was in the house asleep and woke up to someone banging on her door and called the police and told em someone was banging on her door and they said.... YEAAAH.... ITS THE POLICE GET OUT YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE she got out and is fine i cant tell you how thankful we are out shes okay and got out.
We all loved that house its the house my dad grew up in, spent many of my younger years in that house, i got pictures of the house from my dad today, its pretty bad and very devastating but the front part of the house the front bedroom and living room are okay and are salvagable so they are moving everything out of the front bedroom- her room and the living room out of the house 2night and all of what they can from the kitchen, parts of the kitchen are salvagable, shes able to save some valuables from the kitchen which is good.
someone had been parking their camper out there by the house, where she has a gin she stays there during gin season, it was considered the gin house today, someone had their camper hooked up to the electric box on the house, the camper caught on fire and burned the house down. dont know anything at the moment as to weather or not anyone was in the camper I havent recieved details on that yet.
So please pray for us as we are all just so thankful she made it out and is okay, as we are seeing what we can do to help out there. My brother is headed delta way now. my dad is still there helping move stuff out, hes been there all day trying to help move stuff and trying to help clean up what they can clean up.
My brother and I are suppose to talk to my dad sometime later tonight so I will keep everyone posted on how things are going with the salvage process.
They are hoping they want have to come back tomorrow and do anything else they are trying to get through tonight. Anyways, I am sending the pictures that I do have that my dad sent that he took with his phone.
My mom had an iron bed which we believe is salvagable it just needs to be cleaned up from all the smoke and water, it was in the room which you see below that was painted blue, luckily it had been moved to the front bedroom which wasnt burned just water every where, its the bed my memaw was sleeping in, my dad is moving it out of the house tonight.
thanks for your prayers in advance, Tara, ps. pics of whats left of the house are below
