At one point, the fire you took a picture of was 6 miles deep and 16 miles wide with flames hundreds (yes hundreds) of feet high. There was one video a co-worker and I were watching, and it was downright freaky. You could see flames coming out of that big cloud you posted a picture of, so big it just made the sky look like it was on fire.
Yet all we hear about on the news is flooding in the east. The poor dears, we should all be that lucky. If you live in a flood plain, you should expect to get flooded out every so often. That is what insurance is for. I will take a flood any day over a drought.
I was a wee thing in the last half of the fifties. GC wasn't even a gleam in his daddy's eye yet.
Man ... LW ... you're O.L.D.
Just wandering if any on here remembers the wheat field fires we had in southwest OK in the last half of the fifties? I don't remember a drought but many fires after the wheat was cut or most of it back then and with what little equipment they had then they did contain them. Of course, the strains of wheat back then were much taller than what we have now. Just a thought, thanks.
