There's a new contender for the title of most incredible local news eyewitness

A fire in an apartment building in Tulsa, Oklahoma left approximately 100 people without power this weekend.

No one was harmed, but the incident gave a local news channel the opportunity to find America's Next Top Eyewitness.

Introducing Michelle Dobyne, who has shot to the questionable heights of viral stardom for an interview in which she described how her family escaped from the fire.

A neighbour told her something was "popping" and they "bounced out":

My friend came to the door and she said... well I was on the phone cooking me and my baby some breakfast, and she said, ‘Hey, something is wrong — it’s popping!’ I said ‘What!?’ She said ‘Yeah,’ I said ‘Nah!’

So the girl comes downstairs, she comes out of her apartment with her baby with no shoes on I said: ‘Ah girl it’s cold outside!’ She said ‘Something ain’t right!’; I said ‘Aw man!’, and she said ‘Aw man, the building is on fire!’

I said ‘Nah, what?’ and I grabbed my three kids. We bounced out... ain’t gonna be in no fire, not today!
