Tiger Woods home burned to the ground

tiger_woods1.png

This is sad, especially since they just had a baby:

A fire on Friday morning destroyed a home on the $38 million property recently purchased by Tiger Woods on Jupiter Island, Florida. There are no reports of injuries, and Woods, his wife Elin and their newborn baby girl were back at the Woods’ current home in Orlando.

Woods is building a larger home on Jupiter Island, where he bought the 10-acre parcel of land last year. The property included two boat docks and four houses at the time Woods bought it, and he recently purchased a number of other homes on the island. Woods, who with an income of more than $100 million a year is the highest-paid athlete in history, apparently plans to build a family compound.

Fire investigators are still determining the cause of the blaze, which may have been due to a severe lightning storm that went through the area on Friday morning.

That stuff is scary, huh? Good thing they weren’t in there.

    Dear Mr. Woods,
    I have a question that i don’t quite understand. I found this paragraph about your house an di found this cool thing that showed your house. Who am I kidding, MANSION! Bu then i was looking on this page and it showed me that your ‘beach’ house was burned right after Elin just had had a baby. So if you coulb please explain this to me soon if you can I would be very happy because that way it could help me with my report. I’m only nine years old soon I’ll be ten and I really need your info.

    Laura.
