WE ARE CLOSED TEMPORARILY!!!!!!!!!!!!

A huge swath of northwest Toronto has been evacuated following a six-alarm fire early Sunday morning. Anyone in the area bounded by Sheppard in the north, 401 in the south, Dufferin in the east and Keele in the west should leave immediately. If you have friends or relatives there, officers are advising that you stay away and try to contact them by phone. TTC buses were on hand to cart anxious residents away from the smoky scene. Evacuees are being taken to the Yorkdale Mall.

Dozens of explosions at a north-end Toronto propane facility near Wilson Ave. and Keele St. shook a wide area of the city. It started just before 4 a.m. I heard the first one 3.50am on Sunday and police have evacuated us in the area. They are saying that we have to leave because the other 2 tanks are sitting on the railway tracks and may explode flattening homes. If you woke up, you will see the windows of the bank, supermarket and YOUR car blown out!

People that were let back in their homes to get emergency stuff went to the computers loading footage on YouTube, Facebook and MySpace! The authorities are appalled because people should be running for their lives! LOL! KJ will have audio reports later.

OK everybody! This is it! I'm always the bearer of bad news! I live on Wilson Street between Jane and Keele. I heard the explosion thinking it was another weekend gunshot. Then I thought it was some crazy thunder as you know Toronto thunders sound different from the rest of the world. I swear I was updating the sites and it shook me off my seat at 3.50am. Blogging may be temporarily suspended. Keep checking. I will try to do some mobile blogging. Our shelter is Yorkdale mall for now and I have the laptop. This is a WiFi hot spot in front of the Apple store. For those of you that don't know, This is Toronto's biggest mall and it's obviously CLOSED TODAY. One of my sons work in the movie theater in there and I just told him we are living there right now.

Update 11.30am: We are going to be evacuated to York University. That will be a wifi spot as it's a college. I'm gonna camp next to their Dept of Engineering. LOL! AT LEAST EVERYONE'S ALIVE! I MAY BE REPORTING LATER FOR MY LOCAL TV STATION SO STAY TUNED.
