With a thunderous roar heard for miles, a natural gas line exploded in San Bruno shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday, sending up a geyser of fire, critically burning residents and igniting a blaze that gobbled up more than a dozen houses in a residential neighborhood.

I was kitesurfing by the San Mateo Bridge... about 10 miles directly downwind of the explosion when it happened. I did not see or hear the explosion, but I did see and smell the smoke. My fiancee forecasts weather for SFO and she was surprised I didn't see the fireball.
Death toll up to 7 now... also 6 "missing."Scary stuff, really...
