I hate garbage too... but this is ridiculous

Saturday afternoon, Blondie happened to look out our patio door and saw this HUGE billow of black smoke drifting from the Hudson across the city. We ran upstairs to the roof, and watched one of the piers burn to the ground. It was the garbage pier - where they store garbage trucks, etc.

Nobody was hurt, thankfully. And the wind from Earl was pushing everything northeast - Blondie and I were southwest from the fire, so we got lucky.

Burn baby burn, garbage inferno

Fire boats to the rescue!
