Not such a good evening here,
The weather was great spoiled only by a 5 alarm fire at a recycling plant just north of my neighborhood. Among other things they recycle plastic pallets. The fire created a thick black smoke carried from south end of Columbus all the way south to Chillicothe(that is almost to the Ohio river from the center of Ohio). At one point 1/3 of the city's fire men were on the scene, they had to call the city water because they did not have enough water pressure with all the pumpers that responded. At one point we could hear explosions that were propane tanks going up at one point the natural gas lines were in danger. The last I heard before our power went off is they were using heavy equipment to make a clear path to get closer to the fire as there was a stand of trees and under brush in the way. They shut off the power being that the substation for our area was right next to the site that was ablaze. As far as I know no one hurt or any evacuations needed yet.
