I spoke with Dick and Jody and viewed the damage last night. The electrical fire occurred in one of the side rooms in the hall towards the bathrooms. All the electric for the whole building is fried and it will take 3 weeks (estimated) since all the wiring to all the fixtures has to be rerun. The heat was intense and all the panels melted. Amazingly there was no major fire. The electrical smell is bad but there were no flames in Traditions.

Traditions biggest sale of the year is coming up. Dick wants to keep the store open and run off a generator to keep some cash coming in.

I think this is a time for the community to show support for traditions.
