They've all but got it out this morning. Just a faint smoke plume rising from the ruins. No haunted houses on this side, Cowhead...this is the East Bottoms, down the hill from the Old Northeast neighborhood, an area of mixed medium/heavy industry and residences. All the haunted houses are in the West Bottoms, at the confluence of the Kaw and Missouri rivers.

It was determined that the byproducts were not toxic outside of being byproducts of petroleum distillate combustion. The "styrofoam like ash" was exactly that...roofing insulation that had been burned and carried aloft by the amazing convection from the fierce fire, some pieces dropping from the sky as much as two miles or more from their source.

I put a placemark on Google Earth of the site...search for "Chemcentral Kansas City".
