That was scary! Alex heard from his friend, who moved into the base housing in which he and Beth and Hannah had lived until they moved to their current apartment; his friend's wife - for a change - decided to take her husband to work, and after being gone for fifteen minutes, she found this:
The ceiling had crashed down.
They were originally in the Navy fleet band stationed in New Orleans, but moved up to the Tennessee base after Katrina. Due to a difficult, high risk pregnancy, the Navy made his transfer permanent, which is why they had the housing.
Imagine if she'd been sitting on that sofa when the ceiling fell....or if it'd fallen when Beth was sitting there with Hannah, as she often was.

Time to find humor in this.
As I looked at this for the first time, without my glasses, it looked for the life of me like a coffin with a spray on it, or like a flower shop with red and white bouquets for sale. Glasses revealed it was fallen insulation!
Oh!! What a mess, thank goodness no one was there to a. get hurt by the falling debris or b. to breathe in the insulation dust!!
My goodness, we're not even safe sitting on our own sofas in our own homes. So glad no one was taking a nap at the time.
Wow! This happened to a neighbor who was only an apartment wall away from me. I heard the ceiling come down but no one was home. When he got home a bit more fell near the door and clonked him on the head slightly. He said if it had happened not long before while his mother was visiting and sleeping on the couch (where a heavy chunk had fallen)...well, you can imagine.
Funny thing, when I looked at the picture kind of casually before reading the text, WITH my glasses on, I had pretty much the same initial impression as Plumtree13!
