There's a HUGE conflagration out near Moody Gardens. The building right in front of the convention center was a huge ball of flames when I saw it just a short time ago (me, and about 300 other Galvestonians). As far as I can tell (and remember) from the last time I was at Moody, looking down and around at the island from the top floor, there was an old warehouse between the Lone Star Flight Museum and Moody Gardens. That's what was on fire. I say "old," but it may very well have still been in use. I'm not really sure.
I think everybody and their monkey drove out there to see what was going on. Traffic was atrocious (as if I have room to speak...I was part of the problem
). Most people seemed to be concerned that it was something at Moody Gardens (there was a lot of smoke right in that area and the fire was massive) and relieved when they found out it wasn't.
Anyways -- still several hours before 9PM news and I'm not sure they've cover it or not. So, if you were wondering....
