Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It's obvious that you and your passengers are blessed, to have survived this accident. May we ask that you tell us the flight hours on the airframe.
This is the second instance, to my knowledge, of a flap incident like this. It's very fortunate that there have been no deaths. It makes it critical that we all check our flap cables per the published procedure. See this thread for more info and pictures:

I attended the show-and-tell briefing Don Nieser gave at his facility, and folks, inspection of the cable is not easy if you don't know how to do it.
I am going to ask Don if he would be kind enough to do a 3 - 4 minute video of the procedure so that we can either post it here or on youtube with a link from here.
