I looked out the window of our fifth floor apartment in midtown Omaha and saw black smoke billowing and roiling to the east. Instinctively, I grabbed my camera bag and headed out. The cloud of smoke is so large I assumed it was just a few blocks away, but following it took me over 20 blocks to the southern edge of downtown Omaha. I arrived on the scene at the Nox-Crete industrial area and covered as much ground as I could. Below is a sampling of the photos.
