Grass fire

The American Great Plains suffered a huge grass wildfire two weeks ago.  (This is the first I've heard about it, so I wonder about media coverage: was it un-important because it's not Trump-related?)

Colorado - five homes and 30,000 acres burned
Texas - four deaths and 480,000 acres burned
Kansas - eleven deaths, 40 homes and 650,000 acres burned
Oklahoma - one death, 882,000 acres burned

Killing the fatally maimed cattle was just one of the unpleasant jobs to follow all this destruction.

(cont'd tomorrow)
