From caww to me: Onyx :( death tolls are creeping up now..they are finding people on the street.......reported earlier 911 calls as people trapped in homes.

Oh dear God. I was afraid of that.

Report on KRON that a 1948 30-inch pipe ruptured and shot gas back into a number of the homes creating a huge fireball.

30 inch now! Not 24 inches!
Oh, Lord, that’s HUGE.
Yes...but some good news too....ALL the surgeons at the burn hospital showed up...they didn’t even have to be called..when they found out they went in and are all prepared for whom may come in...they expect more...the patients are stabilized at the local hopitals first and then sent to the burn center where these surgeons are waiting...samee with nurses...all are on deck.
The intersection also contained water lines too which were blown up when the gas line let go.. hence no water immediately available to fight the fires.
Yea, those homes are done and anyone in them...I think we need to not assume the deaths and injuries are as reported...several hospitals are reporting thier numbers each so better we just wait...bottom line is one injured and one death is too much.
Ps...Guy just said glass windows were melting from the heat of this fire.....and the sound of this fire was like a roar...
