I had the most interesting day on Monday. Preston and I were in the kitchen getting ready to start our dinner prep when out of nowhere there was this massive BOOM sound that caused the house to actually shake! I grabbed Preston and ran outside to see what was making that sound and I immediately see this ginormous fire behind our house. A couple more explosions kept going off and the house keeps shaking and pictures were falling off our walls, I was just shocked at what was going on. For a brief moment I debated if I should grab anything valuable and get out of there but the fire department only being a block away had the fire under control within 5-10 minutes so my panic died very quick. They did evacuate us...only to the opposite side of the street until they were sure it was safe...not really sure 15 feet would keep me any more safe than my own home but I won't question the authorities.
Anyway, it turns out that a guy in our ward had oxygen tanks in a shed that somehow caught fire and that what was causing the loud explosions and the massive fireball that I saw. Matt and I saw the damage and it is really a miracle that nobody was hurt.
It was pretty exciting though, I think everyone who lives in Heber was on our street that day or driving by to see the damage.
