    They'll all need to be rewired. Total devastation.

    What a horrible mess they are facing. Uggg.

    Yesterday was incredibly hazy throughout Iowa. All the smoke from the Canadian and Minnesota fires moved n. Looked like Californoa smog of years past

    They were looking at how soon folks could get back into town since the fire has moved out of the immediate area but I heard there was an explosion that damaged 10 houses, probably from gas. The fire is huge now and has burnt one of the oil sands camps. I feel bad for the people there as many of them were evacuated from fort Mac to this camp and to have to be evacuated a second time.... There is low pressure and rain moving in to the area today for several days which will be very helpful. Apparently the fire is so huge that they cant put it out without help from mother nature.

    That fire just keeps on going. It's supposed to hit the western border of Saskatchewan today.
