Not much happened today but for a big fire in Kansas City. We are at home, my hubby and I watching the local news channel. There was a thunderstorm outside and we could hear lots of thunder and lightening. Suddenly on the news they interrupted the regular broadcast with a bulletin about a fire. It was a huge fuel tank in a refinery just outside the downtown area that had been struck by lightening! You wouldn’t believe how huge the fireball was and the firemen could only put water on things around it. Big bellowing black smoke was floating up in the sky.

My ogag hubby says, You want to go look? I thought he is kidding me so I said yes. He jumps up and says bring your camera! So, I grabbed it and followed him. We drove right down to the fire and there were cars parked all along the road across the river from the fire with people out watching it. We stopped and jumped out and I started clicking pics as fast as I could. Unfortunately, a police officer came along with his lights on and chased us all back into our cars and made us leave. I did get some cool pics though, have a look!(click image for a large view) . Now I am a real news reporter! I have to add that to my resume…
