Seaport Fire (Redwood City) 5/2/2011

I went out on my balcony to put out some birdseed and I noticed this gigantic pillar of smoke coming from a gravel distribution center (I'm not exactly sure what its called) at the end of Seaport Blvd. in Redwood city. I could see the fire though my spotting scope. I hope no one was hurt.
I'm sure this will be on the news later, there were at least 4 news choppers hovering.
I could see tons of firetrucks trying to extinguish the flames. They did a really great job.
The fire out very quickly for how big it looked.
My boyfriend and his friends who work at Pacific Shores said they felt an earthquake right before the fire so there must have been an explosion, and while I was watching I saw at least one very large fireball/explosion.
