It seems nature has wreaked havoc on the area of "Big Flats" in Centrel Wis. (about 25 south of where I grew up...Wisconsin Rapids).
The news stories are saying thousands of acres were burnt to the ground as well as hundreds of homes lost to the flames.
I remember a fire back in the 70s in the Adams County area (you can still see the charred trees on Hwy 13 going from Adams to Rapids) but I dont think it was nearly the size that this recent natural disaster ended up being.

Hope everyone has a good weekend (will be hard for all those people up there though I suppose)
