Okay, I don't live in next door, but like 4 houses away from it! So sad, its so beautiful. There are 9 fire trucks that I counted, and 5 ambulances all over the streets. When I was driving home it was all blocked off and I could see people running all over and I was like.. OH MY GOD, tell my apartment is not on fire! Luckily, I dont think anyone has been injured, but there is smoke everywhere. There are news reporters everywhere out my front door!

    I love when churches burn. It makes me feel that much better about my non-belief in god.

    Its rather sad, while I am not a religious person, this building is beautiful. It was well over 100 years old. Plus I know that a church can be extremely important to many people. This church is always packed on Sundays, and I feel very badly for those people whom will be displaced for their religious activities. I hope they find it sound to keep standing after all this so that we don't lose this beautiful architecture. It is also next to a charter elementary school which they had to make sure all the kids got out and got away safely. I am very glad that they are still saying no one was injured. It could have been much, much worse.
