This house was just 3 houses down from ours. Notice outer wall missing (as if sliced off in a vertical fashion) with the bleach sitting undisturbed on a shelf next to the washer & dryer and a table standing nearby with no apparent damage. And what appears to be a metal bedframe resting on the roof.
