    Looked to be across the street from the Toyota Center on LaBranch. Anyone know what's burning? Looks big with the black smoke visible from Minute Maid as well as 45 north of the city.

    No, this is a true fire right across from TC.

    Friend of mine that is downtown just called me and said he saw a huge cloud of smoke coming from down there. He said it looks to be near MMP.

    they are constructing apartments/condos near the GRB in front of Discovery Green.

    Maybe something caught on fire there.

    It's a Sunday, so no ones at work.

    I was driving in downtown and saw it, but was too lazy to drive and see exactly where it was. Looked like it was somewhere around Grey and Austin.

    Saw this coming from from Spring on I-45, was interested in seeing what it was.

    Was this the fire everyone's talking about? My gf took a pic of this on her way to the Rice Village near the 59/288 interchange.

    Another example of how Obama is weak on terrorism.
