house, and massive traffic, everyone trying to get to their houses and i parked my car and ran about a half a mile, when i got to the front of my house, lucky enough, my kids were outside, my wife had a back-to-school meeting, which is basically half a block from our house, and had basically got home before we did, and she was staged outside, three kids and i mean, whatever else happened, you know, to our house, didn t make a difference after i knew my family was safe. bill: you are right, how far is your home from where the explosion took place? caller: my backyard, our backyard goes into the canyon and the explosion happened inside the canyon, that is where it caught on fire, we were evacuated, not only because of probably the trees but because of the smoke, it was starting to climb up this mountain of the canyon, and the canon is probably on a normal walk,
