Houston Chronicle reporter Jay R. Jordan covers breaking news for Chron.com.
And maybe listing himself as the "Mayhem reporter" for the Houston newspaper's website on his Twitter bio is attracting the forces of breaking news to his own home like a magnet!
Yesterday, as he was working from home like most people, a car crashed into his apartment:
Talk about #workingfromhome. News came crashing into my apartment about 30 mins ago. All the cats and dogs are OK thankfully. Two were sleeping on those gray cussions. Landlord says they’ll have plywood up before the rain today

Imagine telling your editor you might be late on your next article's deadline because there is a car in your living room!
All kidding aside, glad Jordan, and his cats, are unharmed.
Jordan joined the Houston Chronicle in January of 2018.
He got his professional newspaper start as the breaking news reporter for The Courier of Montgomery County.
Raised in Montgomery, TX, Jordan attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville where he led the award winning school newspaper.
