Lightning flashed through the darkness over Sibson's bedroom skylight
)Sibson was shaken by a clap of thunder before he knew what was
happening.The storm had moved directly through his two-story wooden
house.Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping.
Sibson rushed down the stairs barefoot to check.He opened the door to
the basement and flames exploded out.Sibson ran back upstairs to call
911 from his bedroom."I felt glad because the room had a separate
outdoor stairway,"he explains to the media later.
But the phone didn't work,and when he tried to go down the outdoor
stairway,he was stopped by a wall of flames.Sibson realized he was
trapped.Suddenly,a piece of wood fell from the roof.Sharp pain raced
through his body as he looked down and found his leg bleeding.
Sibson's house was three kilometers off the main road and was so well
hidden by trees that he knew calling for help would be fruitless.Up a hill
nearby lived Sibson's neighbor,Huggons.He was lying in bed when
something like a smoke alarm struck his ears.He jumped out of bed,took
his phone and flashlight,and headed down the hillside toward the noise.
That was when he saw the rolling heavy smoke.
Huggons dialed 911,and the operator warned him not to enter the house.
But Huggons said,"There is no way I am going to listen to Sibson scream
and die in that fire.
"Anyone there?"Huggons called out.Then he heard"Help!I'm trapped!"
coming from the second floor balcony.He entered the house,but soon
had to run back to catch his breath
After one more attempt to get inside the house,Huggons gave up
and circled around back.The wind parted the smoke just for him to
catch sight of Sibson.But there was no way to get to him.
Paral:With the wind fueling the fire,there was no time to waste and the
second floor seemed to be falling down in the next minute.
Para2:"Go.Leave me alone."shouted Sibson with desperate tears in his
eyes,"It will kill you.too."
