4. A cold wind has been blowing in Boston all day.

My respects to the firefighters and thier families.

Bad day for a fire with that storm offshore. The winds are strong out west of 495. They must be terrible in Boston.

This is a terrible tragedy.

12. Yeah, I was on 95 up near Newburyport and the winds were wicked

6. We lost an uncle back in the 50s when he ran in as everyone else ran out

Losing firefighters hits home, real hard, every damn time. Those guys are the ultimate heroes.
