I think Lyle's house is the grey one. His neighbor left a barbeque on a wood deck and caused it. Heres the link to the news article. The seventh pic shows his Dodge out front. If you have face book the real skinny is there.

I saw this on Facebook and other boards yesterday. The good news is that Lyle, his wife and pet are all okay. The house suffered some damage and it will take a few months to have rebuilt. Lyle said that insurance will cover it all. I believe his model collection is okay. In a post he said the insurance company agreed to pack and store them all but he is choosing to do so himself (wise choice). We all wish Lyle well. He is one of the good guys.

Very sorry to hear this. I've communicated with Lyle several times on various boards.

I hope things get straightened out for him quickly.
