Four Firefighters killed in Houston Hotel Fire
Just awful. This is very close to where I live and work, and all I could hear were sirens all afternoon. My boyfriend, who was home at the time, said firetrucks just kept flying down our street.. he thought the whole city was burning down until he actually found out what was happening.
The heat and high winds today didn't help, I'm sure.
RIP to those who were lost.
