YEs, I believe this fire is a real problem. I heard them say the fire is creating a vortex, at least two buildings are burning, maybe three.
At least one of the buildings was engulfed by flames whipped higher by strong winds from Hurricane Rita. A fallen electric pole was lying on one of the buildings and was burning.
One of the buildings that caught fire was built in 1905, just after the hurricane that destroyed most of Galveston and killed at least 6,000people.
