The one I can see the smoke from is out on cooper point. I can see the smoke from my office in downtown. I'm not sure of the address, someone on the Olympia said it was near "Anchor Lane above the bay." The second one was a little earlier today in Lacey near Hawks Praire Golf Club King5 has a video: It says it was at this address: 5538 Crestview Loop NE Let's hope no one was hurt.

Shake and Bake
Submitted by stevenl on Fri, 04/11/2008 - 7:26pm.In 1965 we lost our farmhouse to fire. It was such a surreal experience to walk through the rubble of a place in the evening that had been our sanctuary that very morning. It was grotesque. It was overwhelming. It was a primal jab in the eye.
But, in the end, it was a good thing. Our family bonded closer as we made a decision not be victims but to rebuild. We had shared a traumatic experience and used that as a springboard instead of a wedge. We learned who our friends were. We learned that material possessions are worth diddly squat.
And, most importantly, we kept our sense of humor. A month after we lost the house, the 6.5 earthquake of 1965 hit this area. So we called ourselves members of the Shake and Bake Club.
The residents who lost their homes have my empathy. My wish is that your disaster has the same positive results as I experienced.
We said the same thing in LA
Submitted by a.future.with.n... on Sun, 04/13/2008 - 11:36pm.I was 11 during the 1994 quake in LA. Our house was also pretty destroyed, the foundation cracked, the gas lines broke, the frame skewed. It is a distinct experiance to walk through your life turned into rubble and chaos.
My condolences to the families, is there anything we Olybloggers can do?
The most amazing thing
