Fire drains water as Cuthbertsons recall Baytown blaze

Cuthbertson works at the Baytown Refinery and his wife at Lynn's Grocery as they note the loss of furniture and a recently repapered house. The couple says they bought their horse title over two years ago and honor insurance on the house and furniture. They acknowledge the risk to neighbors and say they will start over.
