Was Mrs. O’Leary’s cow harmed in the fire?
Merely a prequel to our current catastrophic erf killing activity. 😨🔥🙌
Why’d you post the same story twice, three days apart?
allegedly induced by man-caused climate change—
Uh,,, the majority of Oregon and California fires were proven to be arson .
I had vaguely heard of the Wisconsin fire, but we are in the Great Lakes area which has its own brand of crazy. Unfortunately, Michigan was the site of the worst-ever school massacre and the Great Lakes have had some catastrophic ship-wrecks.
History Guy has a good video on the Peshtigo Fire.
I expect a bad brush and grass fire season around here. The ground is powder dry and the vegetation is like straw. I’m clipping the pastures low but the material cut remains. The ground is so hard I can’t get the big disc to penetrate enough to cut fire lines. I saw burned spots all along the interstate yesterday.
Today it is very hot and the wind is like a blow torch.
