Firenight

There was a fire tonight in a warehouse a couple of blocks from the house. Everyone was pretty scared because it was just a stone-throw away but it seems to be contained now. The warehouse, on Mariano Otero Street, turned out to be from the uncle of one of my little sister’s best friends. Weird, that.
Anyway, I went as closed as I dared and took many a picture (until a drunkard started harassing me for taking his picture). Most turned out to be crap — my camera totally sucks at night-pictures — but I gathered the best in this photoset.
And here are two short videos. The first from my very street, the second from Mariano Otero.

I think it was on the news tonight, a fire was reported by Joaquin Lopez Doriga, the first news of the broadcast, you should send you footage as well!
Heh.. perhaps it was this one the one you watched. I haven’t keep up with the news but I listened briefly to a note that said that the warehouse held groceries and very flammable stuff like diapers and toilet paper. Over a 100 million pesos (!) are estimated to have been lost.
