The whole San Fernando valley was a cloud of smoke. I drove by Uni yesterday and the tower of smoke was creepy.
The BACK TO THE FUTURE/GREMLINS town square burned to the ground:(
Oh well, at least rebuilding it will finaklly provide a few jobs for Hollywood crews who have been screwed by strikes and runaway productions.

if celluloid was burning that would make the smoke very toxic as well

I guess the good thing about all of this is that it happened on a Sunday and not many people were around. It is good no one was really hurt or anything.
