Please say a prayer/send good vibes/keep my friend in your thoughts...

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to put this in TAO or Spirituality, but I thought this would get up on the board faster through this forum. Moderaters, if I'm wrong, and this should be in TAO, please forgive me on this one.

An old friend of mine owns a pet store (not a puppy milly one, a good one that does occasionally sell from a very small group of reputable breeders, but also does fostering, boarding, grooming and rescuing of all types of animals). Please keep him in your prayers and thought or send good vibes or whatever you believe in. The pet store is at this very moment in the middle of a possible electrical fire, possibly although the fire fighters don't know yet exactly what's going on. My friend, the pet store owner, is not allowed to go in and evacuate his animals and if it turns out that he needs to. Not only is this store his life's work/life's savings, but there are animals that are being boarded inside the store that he can't get to, (mostly birds, rabbits and guinea pigs, and the info to contact their owners are also in the store) and his pet cat and his pet parrot, both of who live at the store. They've also evacuated all the stores on that side of the street. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and send good vibes and all that, that this is all nothing, the fire fighters will get whatever the problem is under control and the animals evacuated if need be, etc.

Everything worked out, no injuries or casualties, very little financial damages.

Yes, everything turned out alright. It was water fomr our ice storm-turned-sleet storm draining into the wiring in the basement causing the electric wires to spark and smoke and cause some little explosions and that's where the fire fighters thought the basement (no animals in the basement, just food and supplies, including hay and alfalfa for the rabbits and guinea pigs) would catch on fire, plus, this was all happening near to the gas tank for the heat, which could have caused the place to just blow up. Anyways, water problem is fixed, sparking problem is fixed, smoke problem is fixed and, although the firefighters and then the electric company worked most the night and so the animals went most the night with no heat on, there were no animals lost and no animals have any ill affects from the heat off all night. (The windchill was -10 last night, so the store got down to 45-50.) The worst of the damage is the stress that probably took about 10 years off my friend's life and his poor cat, grabbed and thrown into a carrier by a firefighter last night, who will probably need kitty therapy because of it.

Anyways, everything's okay now. Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers and good vibes.
