Did he report it...just in case? Maybe it had just started. It’s amazing how fast they spread! I saw one here, and it was a frightening sight!
He doesn’t have a cell phone but as much traffic as there is on the interstate, I’m sure someone would have reported it. It hadn’t just started from what he said. Way too big - went on for miles.
With a front coming in, I pray it doesn’t get too windy and fan the flames even more.
