Fire in San Bruno

Yes, we are OK, our house is on the other side of town… we just came back from San Francisco (Bad Mommy! What about Leilani’s bed time! But that’s another post) and saw the fire on the road.
Scary though… we can smell the smoke.

Excerpt from the article on SFGate.com
(09-09) 22:03 PDT SAN BRUNO — With a thunderous roar heard for miles, a natural gas line explosion ripped through a San Bruno neighborhood shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday, sending up a geyser of fire, critically burning residents and igniting a blaze that gobbled up more than a dozen houses.

The wind-whipped blaze jumped from structure to structure in the area near Skyline Boulevard and Sneath Lane, west of Interstate 280, raging unabated for almost an hour as emergency crews rushed in, residents cleared out, and ambulance sirens filled the air.
