It's been reported that up to 60 people lost their homes in apartments above a series of storefront retail outlets (so you also need to factor-in the number of people who are now out of work because their employers simply don't exist anymore. Tragic.)<br/><br/>Last Saturday, I had a chance to visit the site, along with all the other rubber-neckers, and shot some pics of the aftermath during demolition. The area smelled strongly of charred wood. They're not great pics, but anyone interested can find them here: <br/><br/><a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://jago.smugmug.com/gallery/4393990_FfwuR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Smugmug</a><br/><br/>For context, the rubble in these photos represents the leftovers of buildings that were 2 and 3 storeys tall.]]></content></entry></feed>
