I know it's way off topic, but as I sit here still very shaken felt compelled to share.

This morning my sleep was disturbed by a strange noise, very faint and hard to tell what or where it was. I nearly put the pillow over my head and ignored it.

Decided to get up, and found a kitchen appliance (the blender) malfunctioning on the counter, fire dancing from the front!!!

The sound I was hearing was the motor running, RPM fluctuating up and down. from the bedroom it sounded more like a fish tank filter that had lost it's priming.

I have fans in the windows now for the last 40 minutes and the stink of electrical fire still will not go away.

The thoughts of my whole family and some 75 animals burning up in a house fire will not go away any time soon.
