I've set up a new blog to show off the view I recorded on film from the deck in February, as reported in the ESR post "Too Toasty."
This is the hottest point, ("2") , of the progression currently on display in the online collection: "PhotoEssay07."

Wow! That's quite a fire. Those are pretty good shots considering what you were shooting with. Are you sure you're not part reporter?

Snag - Did they ever determine the cause?

Mike, wonder what I could do with a state-of-the-art cam in my hands... I could be half reporter, once removed- This event made me feel like one...
Neo, yep, it's written about in the "After" http://photoessayhf.blogspot.com/2007/04/after.html post on the PhotoEssay07 blog.
holy cow mom! that poor family. probably paid an arma nd a leg for that house.. wait.. i can find out. :) (here i am being a nosey Realtor) so in 2004 it was listed for $259k and the listing expired. then i looked at the market history for the property.. it sold for 60K in 95.. isn't it amazing what years did for this house! here's what the house looked like in '04 House that burned as i remember.. a big junk pile b/c the itty bitty piece of land it's sits on is barely big enough for the house.
Snag - Got it!

MB, I knew it was 260- I tend to round off alot lately, especially at work pound-age. Thanks for the RE history n pic link of the place before all the work got done!
Neo, yay!
I went over to MB's picture to see the house, and can hardly believe that that house actually sits on such an bitty piece of land.... but then, it shouldn't surprise me at all. I remember that Swift's is the same way. As long as there is a postage size piece of parcel, somebody will erect a house on it.
I am amazed at the price it was selling for. Our property is worth more without the cottage, but then it is a sizeable piece of land compared to our neighbors. My Grandparents made on huge mistake when they put it up back in the 40's..... they should have centered the building rather than putting it on one side. And they should have put something up more sturdy than two cranberry shacks stapled together. You'd think the number of hurricanes that have blown through since then would have taken care of bringing it down..... but no.... the darn thing refuses to bow to pressure.
You have a very steady hand, I would have been shaken and proably ruined the camera.
Ellen, yep, barely room for a BBQ grille... that's why I'm so surprized the houses next to it weren't damaged n think the Fire Department (mostly on call volunteers) did a great job controlling the flames.
That price is very cheap for here.
I'm surprized that Hurricane Bob didn't float your Grandma's shack away, I'd heard the water damage was right up to your street, guess you're just lucky!
SkyBL2U, it takes alot of practice to get a good steady stance, hold your breath, n pull the shutter button without moving the cam for un-blurred shots. (Almost like firing a gun)! My heart was pounding like crazy, too! (That's why most folks use a tripod-)
Note: All the shots seen on ESR thus far have been hand-held!
Good photo, bad fire.
Hope no one was hurt.
Thanks Janus, no one was home at the time, Thank God-
