A Fire Grows in Brooklyn.

     This morning I woke up to the sound of a bomb going off.  It was raining so I figured it had to be lighting.  But this lighting sounded like it happened right in my backyard.  As I finally got out of bed my Mother called me and told me that this morning lighting struck the top of a building on 665 New York Ave, right down the block from where I live in Brooklyn NY.  The whole first floor of the building was completely destroyed. 26 fire fighters were injured in the blaze not to mention the tenants who had to evacuate their homes.

   I road my bike over to the location and saw hundreds of people on the street.  Some looking at their apartments being burned down, while others were just passing by making their way to work or school.  I decided to sneak into the Hospital adjacent to the burning building and make my way to the roof top.  I took a couple photos before police and security saw me.  I immediately ran from them and made my way out of the building without getting my cameras taken.  Yeah I’m a G like that!!

   I haven’t heard of any deaths yet and I don’t wish too.
