Re: Fire

Looked pretty bad on the news last night.

Locally, we had a bad fire at Pokagon State Park.  It seems that people in
this state just LOVE to burn leaves.  Some idiot whose property borders the
park burned his leaves during  a lull in tornado-speed winds.  He thought
the fire was burned out well-enough to walk away, but the winds picked up
and blew the embers into the park.  They said it's the worst, the largest
unplanned burn they've ever had at the park.  and very costly.
