Fire storm rages through Oakland neighborhoods
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. - A wind-driven brush fire exploded into a fire storm yesterday as it roared through neighborhoods in the hills above Oakland, engulfing hundreds of homes and killing 10 people, authorities said.
Residents ran into streets, clutching their belongings. Gusts whipped flames as high as 100 feet through dry brush and thick smoke blocked out the area. They brushed through streets filled with flaming debris and lined with burning trees.
The fire moved quickly from street to street, then hillside to hillside, making a deafening roar as it charred neighborhoods. Many residents said they only had time to grab photos and documents.
"The trees were exploding. It looked like the Fourth of July. I think we lost everything. I think it all gone," said Stevie, who, he fled with his wife and daughter.

40 mph hampered efforts to fight the fire.
The blaze, which was reported late yesterday morning, continued to burn out of control into last night. By early evening, officials said it covered 1,500 acres. There was no immediate report on what caused the fire.
Ten people were killed, including a police officer, said Alameda County Supervisor Don Perata. Five of the victims apparently were evacuating a home when they were caught, Perata He. He didn't know how the others died.
At least 50 people, including three firefighters, were treated at hospitals for burns, smoke inhalation and other injuries, officials said.

Original movies are out there
Special to the Kansan
Have you noticed movies these days are getting stuck in a rut? Sure, some have better special effects, some are more romantic, some funnier, some more exciting, but all are far from original.
For example, "Necessary Roughness" is just a football version of "Major League" and "Freddy's Dead" is one of the many sequels to 'Nightmare on Elm Street.' If you want to see a movie that is truly different in Lawrence, try Liberty Hall at 642 Massachusetts, or check out a flick sponsored by
the SUA at the Kansas Union. If you're in Kansas City, try the Tivoli at 425 Westport Road. These three theaters will show you something different, really.
Liberty Hall and the Tivoli have shown movies such as "Paris is Burning," which is about transvestites, "Festival of Animation," a collection of short cartoons and claimations, and "Thousand Pieces of Gold," a movie about slavery, a suicidal heroine and a boy who gets drunk in response to crises. If you want the classics like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" or "Heavy Metal," check out the SUA-sponsored shows.
