9/19/11

     Hundreds of fire fighters are still working to contain the wild fire in the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota.  It's sad to me that one of the few protected areas of wildlife is burning right now, due to a lightning strike.  Heavy rain yesterday helped the fire fighters make a lot of progress, but it's still burning.  I wonder if there were any campers nearby when the lightning hit and started the fire.  It would have been terrifying right in the middle of the fire.

Unusualness, significance, timeliness, prominence, proximity
