Yep. Terrible. Kind of highlights the danger of the typical marina configuration... Tightly packed typically, lots of flammables, with one egress path per area. It's amazing that it doesn't happen more often. There was one down here on Dog River March 2019. Fortunately, I don't think it killed anyone.

The first responders from Scottsboro were really rattled in the report I saw. Terrible.

Saw that on the news the other day. I think they were all houseboats with live aboards. Not going to read the article, but just using (faulty) memory.
