Looks like there are restaurants across the street from the 1894 Opera house. That's probably what is on fire. http://www.thestrand.com/maps/maps.php

Well, they were on Winnie between 19th and 20th. AP is saying not "houses," but "buildings," one built in 1905, after The Storm. Mayor Lyda called them "Victorian homes." They're just south of The Strand, between there and UTMB, but in the Historic District.

A fallen electric pole was lying on top of one of the buildings and was burning. Fire is out now.
