It was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fucking close. When I saw the pieces of fire landing on the balcony (made completely of barge wood)of our building I was nearly out of my mind. What was worse is what I saw when we were allowed back in. In the alleyway between their building and ours (which is maybe four feet at the walkway) there are all these bricks. Some badly charred and pieces of burned plaster. It got so hot inside of that building the bricks were loosening and exploding outwards. In a fire that's one of the worst things that can happen. If enough of them come out aside form collapse it can create back drafts, fireballs, and other nasties either way it went to the side or the back our building would have gone up. On another note I know thetv has got some shit wrong based on what the asshole O'Really has to say (yes that's his nickname now) but,I don't believe anyone is displaced. Since we couldn't obviously stay in our building while they were working the fire the guesthouse thoughtfully let Miss Dixie inside the lobby where it was warm. When your 99 years old you shouldn't have to sit on a concrete stoop in the cold wrapped in an EMS sheet. More about all of it and the fucking news crew later (I soooooooo hate a certain local station-not our first run in). I'm still so very sick and I need to rest.
