Then when we went in to Gloucester, there was a smell of smoke and a light haze in the sky.
By then we’d heard, an apartment building had burned down in the night, with at least one death - the building also collapsed on to a next door temple, destroying that too.

Our thoughts are with the many people that lost their home and belongings last night.
