Talk:Major fire results in significant damage to Texas apartment complex

Original reporting notes

 * While I'm unsure that it deserves its own follow-up article here, the following article was seen on local news, KLTV's web site this morning: "Woman, cat reunited after fire destroys apartment".....somehow, the cat survived!Buddpaul (talk) 17:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Interview details

 * The "Jane" mentioned is a real person.....who does live in the adjacent apartments. The quote, however, was delivered to me second-hand by my spouse (who is a friend of Jane's)......so, that obviously won't pass muster.......I will interview her by phone myself on Thursday.Buddpaul (talk) 03:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Obviously, I'm going to use a pseudonym until I can interview her/get permission to quote her.Buddpaul (talk) 03:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Telephone interview conducted today at 9:17AM (CST).....she requested anonymity.......quotes: "It was unbelievable. There were firetrucks and police cars everywhere. It was the biggest fire I've ever seen."Buddpaul (talk) 17:18, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
