ahh... good point!

well, it all started yesterday when i came home from camp to be greeted by my little sister who was in a complete panic.
she grabbed my arm and pulled my into the backyard where i was greeted by this image...

which appeared to be our 5000+ gallon pool collapsed.

i got closer and ralized actually it was this....


yeah thats right a gaping hole in my backyard.

apparatnly there is some sort of dry well or something down there that gave way and caused the whole pool to collapse with my two brothers in it. (both thank god were not seriously hurt {although i think my littlist brother who ended up inside that hole is still in shock} mostly some scrapes and cuts)

well, u might be wondering where all that water went.
right here------\/


it filled this stairwell and burst the door at the bottom open. rippping the lock out.

it pured thru my basement ripping up carpet and destroying all of our stuff. although we lost a lot of things the only thing that really upset us was that a ton of my dads college stuff like his doctorate and his diploma's got soaked but we might be able to save it. anyway we spend the rest of the day ripping out soaking wet carpetand hauling out bookshelves.

here are some pics of the carnage and clean up that followed













heres some pics of the hole...





and last but not least a video of the wate rbieng pumped out by my brother in law's trusty firehose water pump.



now the entirety of the situation can't really be captured on camera but man was it hectic
