It was actually smoke not steam. The school converted from natural gas to diesel and it was the new diesel fumes, from what the firefighters told us as we gawked at the plumes on the corner. It was a pleasant smell in many of our houses for a couple of hours, much like sitting behind a semi truck in stopped traffic.
