HOLY SHIT! ONE OF THE PREDICTIONS CAME TRUE!
But I don't think that Chris should be blaming the faulty wiring of the coffee maker, but the hoard. That's what any insurance company is going to do...

Also, how exactly does he know that the Keurig caused the fire (unless he was standing there watching it)? In a hoard, just about anything can catch fire.

Jesus, I feel bad for the guy. His enormous video game collection is gone, and that alone is probably worth thousands. The original Sonichu comics are gone, and that's terrible. His lego structures and his childhood memories and his PSTriple were in there, too, I hope the poor guy managed to save some stuff. I can't imagine what Barb must be going through, too. Her memories of her husband were in that house, I hope she at least managed to salvage some pictures of her family. And how are they going to pay for a new house? They might have to move to an apartment, since they most likely can't afford a new house. I'm glad no one got hurt, though.

Holy SHIT. Checked /b/ and found a thread about this on the first page, and hauled ass over here immediately. Apparently this is (relatively) fresh news.
Good thing a neighbor was kind enough to help them out. Now I wonder how long it'll take before they get kicked out. I'm thinking about a week until the neighbor gets sick of the entitlement, hoarding, lack of hygiene, the messes, and, of course,
. Then they'll raise hell about how they're being mistreated and taken advantage of or some pathetic sob story. I think they'll be lucky enough to receive assistance from Rocky.
What are some likely scenarios that will unfold in the next month, guys?

Well, this is a sad turn of events for the Chandler household. It's very sad this had to happen, especially this time of year.
I can't imagine it being strictly a coffee maker's fault. It's hard to tell how much of a load that circuit was carrying before "the" offending appliance sparked the flames that caused the calamity. Once the ashes are cool, it'll be investigation time for insurance and fire marshal to explore the cause.
If the house isn't 100% lost, the clean up will likely be costly and time consuming. House fires are a bitch to clean up after.

This was predicted for months. I'm genuinely surprised and also relieved that everybody got out safe despite this. Jeez.
I kind of want to send them a
because that's such a terrible situation for them both (let's face it they are both vulnerable people in different and similar ways) but it'd probably be frowned upon here and impossible to get to them.

Not to sound a-loggy, but burning down the heap and all the garbage in it might actually be a good thing.
Now he has no choice but to move out, change his lifestyle and start with a clean slate.

So, it looks like the house may not be a total loss after all (at least Chris doesn't seem to think so). The insurance company is apparently putting them up in a hotel, which is probably a good thing, since I'm certain that they'd wear out their welcome at the neighbor's pretty quick. Their chances of getting anywhere with a lawsuit against Keurig are, as others have pointed out, slim to none.

This is almost kind of surreal, but honestly, this isn't an incredible surprise. At least Chris got all the important things safe and out of the house but imagine all his stuff gone.
Since Chris puts such a high priority on material items to base his identity off of, I wonder how this will effect his sense of self.

It's nice of the insurance to give them temporary lodging, but there is no way in hell they're going to pay up for damages once they find out an extensive hoard was involved. And even if there was the slightest case to be made for suing over a defective coffee maker, that, too, will go out the window once the hoard is exposed.
I want to be sad, but I can't. Barbara's hoarding has fucked what's left of that family.

Watermelon questions the toilet coffee.
Double post because I'm terrible.
