Early this morning (for those of you living under rocks), Universal Studios had an explosion that rocked the Southern California area. The explosion lead to a HUGE, MASSIVE fire that completley took control of the Universal Backlot - home to the Universal Studio Tour. Many different sets, street sets, outdoor sets, archieves buildings, and more were distroyed completley in the fire - that is STILL going on as of 10:00 PM this evening.
I got a few chances throughout the day to take some pictures of the event. Here's some below:
Check out all the foam (from fighting the fire) in the water...
The smoke was horrible and filled the air all day long. Tests confirmed that the air was nothing to worry about (I mean, it is...but nothing BAD BAD), and that everything is okay.
In other news....Elliot came in today, which was fun! He arrived around noon and I had a chance to show him around the neighborhood and Hollywood. In the evening, we had a chance to check out more of the remains of Universal Studios from a cool, new vantage point. We got to talk to alot of neighbors, etc in the are for a while...which was neat, because they all had some very unique stories.
Anyways, I think tomorrow will be a relaxing day. I teach at the Middle School and have class that evening. We'll see how everything goes, but something tells me it won't beat today's rush of energy.
