A family of six lives here — a mom, dad and four kids.

Pat McAfee, a former punter for the Indianapolis Colts, grew up at the home.

He talked about what happened on his show.

“Always had nightmares, visions that that thing was going to come down and saw our house in half,” McAfee said.

This isn’t the first time this has happened to a house in this neighborhood.

Neighbors said they’ve been trying to prevent this from happening in their neighborhood.
