Thanks, we are 2.5 blocks away. just hoping the winds don't change too much. we are up wind now. The kitties are a little freaked out. smoke is starting down the street. We have friends that work at both restaurants that were destroyed, hoping all are safe. Sad day in the neighborhood.
PLEASE FIND A PLACE! After living on John Street on 9-11 and being told it was ok to go home that the aire was fine, then finding out it wasn't years later and having to join the health registry, it would have been better to find a place to stay for a month. I hope that the people in Pomme Frites and Sushi Park were able to get out in time. Does anyone know on which floor the explosion happened?

I do hope they managed to escape! Man I was soon addicted to Pomme Frites when my studio was on Christie Street. The entire infrastrucutre of neighborhoods like this are in such bad shape. It is a wonder things like this don't happen more often.

Had tickets to a show tonight, just returned home.The rain took care of the smoke coming this way. We left an air purifier working, no smoke, little noticeable smell. Will leave it running tonight, Need to do laundry, clothes smell. The nice woman next to us at the show tonight said one of her co-workers lives on St. Marks in a building that backs up on to one of the collapsed buildings was not allowed back in to her house. They fear that building may collapse. My heart goes out to all affected by this tragedy.
Good for the Standard! I just can't imagine one day having your apartment, and the next day you're living in the gym of a school, having lost everything. I'm feeling so grateful.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
