I used to live in this building. A friend and I rented a condo from one of her co-workers who was out of town for grad school. There are a fair number of senior citizens living there. I’m glad everyone is okay.
As I noted in Patch’s comments, I assume the homeowners association will be filing an insurance claim post-haste. I’m very curious as to how the careless smoker plays in...

Florida’s governor recently signed a bill that will require welfare recipients to submit to drug tests.
In case, like me, you missed it, Republicans in Minnesota filed a similar bill in February:
