Brings back memories. I was on the interstate around Chippewa exit when it happened and I thought a nuclear bomb went off.

I was working dispatch at White Castle PD. The swinging door opened a little, like someone had started to come in but didn't. My seat was positioned so that I could see that no one was there nor could possibly have pushed on the door without my seeing them first. I just thought it was the wind, until I started getting in calls from all around town and hearing the calls start up on the parish radio.

Later that evening I was working my primary job at a radio station in the Corporate II building. During long breaks I would take the ladder up to the roof and watch the fire from there.
