It was very dry conditions, and windy. Lots of wood, saw dust laying around from logging. The winds whipped it up into a fire storm. It was so wild it jumped over the Green Bay into Door County. People just didn’t have time to get away. People were burned to ashes.
Some were ID’d by a ring or a watch they used to own. Some died out in a field and never had a hair on their head harmed.
Grandmother said it sucked whole houses up into the air. Dogs and Horses and everything.
