How shocking that one cigarette could cause all that damage and stress. How weird is it that the damage site looks just like a mark a cigarette would make when you stub it out.

This is a perfect post for the anti tobacco day campaign. The butt is now damaging more ways than one. That was a terrible news.

How frightening, thank goodness nobody was hurt. A shame about the cat though.
On a brighter note, thanks for stopping by my blog today. I find your blog gives a real hometown view of your community. Especially liked the Locks of Love Post!

Looks like someone stubbed out a giant cigarette right through the building.
