This is a detail from the first photo. That was taken from inside my sister's apartment.
I think this fire is one of the most awesome things I have seen. (And I don't mean awesome in the usual way.) It was just... amazing. Unreal. We saw it first at about 2:20 or so as we were driving down the street. At that time you could even see the flames. They were HUGE. Right now, my throat hurts from breathing in all that crap. It was raining down ash. Totally intense.
