Queenstown burned down

I stayed in a little town called Queenstown my last long weekend (and took care of a lady from there that I think had carbon monoxide poisoning - but couldn't prove it).
Yesterday, something caught fire in the central block of town - either started in or spread to a machine shop with acetylene torch cylinders which exploded. Apparently most of the downtown is gone, and what is left - including my hotel - has no windows from the explosion. Glad I missed that excitement.
I haven't heard of any injuries (happened at 2 am). Presume the hotel was empty - I was the only guest the night I stayed there.
