Question Anyone at WFC Stay at a hotel that had a room catch on fire??

Everyone,

I was in Baltimore yesterday talking with a client. She said that she was in St Louis for a weekend conference (DOD) and that her hotel had caught fire and was evacuated. I asked if she saw a lot of trucks in the lot. I explained about the WFC and she mentioned that she did see a lot of sports cars driving around while there...

Just curious,

later

There are several theories about the chip; here's what I've heard:

Potato Chip (Lays)
Paint Chip (Dutch Boy)
Chocolate Chip (Hershey)
Rock chip (Chevy w/4bigmudtires)
Chip Gannasse
Chippendales Dancer

St Louis Fire Dept reports the cause as being weather related:

apparently a bolt of Johnny Lightning struck a JDM aluminum shaft causing a Power Surge, thru room 248, or something
