My cousin, Diane, and I were just returning from Alcatraz Island when we saw clouds of black smoke rising from the pier in front of us. Not a good sign! The ship offloaded its passengers and we walked out to the street where we saw fire engines and police cars at Pier 29. Flames were coming out of the top floor and as we stood there, a piece of the roof fell and hit the sidewalk. The firemen on the rooftops were taken off immediately and more engines arrived. Firemen began to link hoses together and connect them to the hydrants in front of Pier 33 and 35. We went to lunch at Butterfly and had a delicious she crab sandwich. Great timing as the electricity went off thirty minutes later and we finished our meal and exited into the sunshine heading in the opposite direction.
