The newspaper says the house belongs to a lawyer who lives in the next county. He is a friend and colleague. There is much other information out there. The is so sad.
Update: My friend's daughter was also lost.
Update: I reported a rumor that was not true. My friends daughter was not one of the victims. The other report that one of the victims being from here was confirmed.

The Ocean Isle Tragedy

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

This is another tragedy that comes on the back of the tragedy that happened just a few miles from where we live.

Lady G attends the same church as the grandmother of the Mitchell children and she is attending the funeral for the younger one as I write this. The Mitchells, apparently, are a very well known family in the area. I know exactly where this accident happened and I can see how it happened. It is so sad. I feel terrible whenever I see another parent lose a child needlessly.
The fire in Ocean Isle was horrific. Information is just starting to trickle out. They suspect the fire was started by one of the kids' cigarette but that is merely speculation at this time. In any case, it is a terrible tragedy.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, SuitDude.
