FINALLY!!

My son lives right near here and he said it is not that bad from where he is. He said it started out as a big mushroom and then dispersed.

Authorities on Thursday torched a house on the outskirts of San Diego packed with the largest stash of homemade explosives and bomb-making material ever discovered in the U.S.
Using remotely controlled explosive devices, demolition crews ignited a high-temperature blaze they hoped would incinerate the house in Escondido, Calif., without causing any explosions.

After a final thumbs-up from meteorologists and bomb experts, authorities used a remote-controlled device Thursday morning to set fire to a house on the outskirts of Escondido containing massive amounts of bomb-making material.
The fire was set about 10:57 a.m. upon the order of San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore.
Bomb squad specialists from local and outside authorities said a quick, hot fire should destroy the dangerous materials without explosions.
