Local news has been going crazy for the past 3 hours. Scary, because I have a close friend whose family lives about 1/4 mile from where the explosion happened.

I can imagine chilling at home then your house is not just on fire, but totally incinerated in seconds.

Drove from San Jose out to Dublin last night for wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. Opening night of the NFL and all, so of course it's packed. But we ended up watching the news on one of their rediculously large flat screens because the fire completely consumed what looked like 1 or 2 suburban blocks.

At the time they didn't know if anyone was dead. Very sad indeed.

Also got an email from my mom and dad who are in Scotland right now. Apparently, it was even on the news over there!

PG&E seems to be learning from BP's mistake, and is taking some responsibility for this which is nice.

It was hard to see for the spectators. We drove around Mt San Bruno, but by the fire wasn't visible through the fog.

No way was I going up Skyline. Don't make it harder for everyone else.
