SAN FRANCISCO -- An explosion injured a woman and set a clothing store on fire Friday in the downtown shopping district.
Firefighters and police evacuated several blocks around the store in the Crocker Galleria area, said fire spokesman Peter Howes.
A witness told KCBS radio that a woman was engulfed in flames from the blast which shattered the Ralph Lauren store's windows just before 10 a.m. Another witness said the blast seemed to have originated under the sidewalk.

I am now cracking myself up imagining "I'm Rick Astley, bitch!" as the new catch-phrase sweeping the nation.
The Astley song going round and round in my head is "Never gonna give you up" and I've never thought of it as Negrified.
Me too. And me neither. But then I feel like I'm almost never surprised at the race of a singer. Oh, except Pink with her first song.
Holy shit. I hope the SF woman & everything else is okay.
There are a lot of good things about my office.
Tragically, the coffee is not one of them.
Mine too. I'm seriously considering getting another Melitta drip cone and using that here. The coffee is awful.
I'm seldom surprised at the race of a singer, on account of not giving it much thought, but man, I was shocked when I first heard Alison Moyet's solo stuff and realized it was a woman singing.
Totally thought it was a guy until they said who it was.
Martin Kemp is still married. Gary Kemp is divorced. Both are quite prolific.
Wow. I just had a dizzy spell. Like my own personal earthquake.

Hmm. When something like that happened to me, someone said something about a doctor's visit...

Been there, done that, taken the meds, gotten very ill, had the MRI, don't have a tumour.
How far along are you with the process?
Mmmmmm...Spandau Ballet....
