They haven't gotten far enough to speculate on the cause. The Douglas County fire - named Cherokee, I think - is only a few miles to the south of me. Homes are in its eventual path and I heard on the radio about 15 minutes ago that evacuations were starting. Right now a park with a herd of buffalo and a golf course are the closest to the fire.

Also, we have wind gusts here of close to 40 mph according to my weatherbug.
