That warehouse fire that’s going down by the river is really a hot blaze. I hear that sometime around midnight, it really cranked up again – flames estimated to be well over 100 feet high. With that, there are intermittent popping noises, presumably from whatever is burning there.
I could hear these pops through the phone – kind of reminded me of firecrackers going off in half-second or one-second intervals. Wonder what’s in those warehouses?
The folks down on Pelican St. say that someone was prowling around the block last night. They know because they’ve scattered some aluminum cans about as an alert system. They called out several times, and then finally shouted that they were going to shoot. Whoever it was said, “Don’t shoot!”, and took off. Guess they really didn’t want to get shot, because they didn’t come back.
About 8 families/folks pulled out of the area around Pelican late yesterday. I know you’re wondering who’s still there, so I have these names: Louis, Gregg, Vinnie, Garrath, Mrs. P., Kenneth, Roland, and David.
Finally – still no real-live National Guard seen. Whatever they were doing initially yesterday, they haven’t made their presence known in person yet.
Good morning world!
