I saw an article that said that a restaurant employee and his daughter are at the hospital with burns over 70% of their bodies, so it looks like the fire was probably an accident started by them.
According to my boss, our building downtown has power.
I went for a short drive to survey the damage in my area. My neighborhood is fine. Lots of branches and a few fences down. Our neighborhood was built in the late 60's and early 70's, and has lots of tall trees. I think those trees are what saved the houses sheltering them from the wind. While driving around, I saw lots of damage to commercial buildings and other newer neighborhoods. A buddies neighborhood has lots of damage to homes and the surrounding stuff, but his neighborhood is much newer with no trees.
