My theory all along. (Well a comet or Meteor) I am glad the scientic community is finally coming round to my way of thinking. If they had only done so sooner :)
Seriously, I did see a show about this about 8 years ago that made a whole lot of sense.

No, but I think Donner and Blitzen were in on it.

If the fire had been caused by comet debris, which is believed to have consisted of small pieces of frozen methane, acetylene or other highly combustible chemicals, it also would explain the cause of the fires blazing north of Chicago, which wiped out 2,000 people and burned 4 million acres of farm and prairie lands. Wow, I never even heard of this. First we discover that an asteroid didn't wipe out the dinosaurs after all. Now we learn the Chicago fire can't be blamed on Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

This and the Arizona Sunset Crater article you posted earlier should give the myth chasers mor ammunition. We should look for the base causes instead of dismissing old stories as "childish". Interesting. Next we can solve who Hanuman was, now that we have other ideas about Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

The cows name was Comet ? Kind of racy for a cow wasn't it ?

Maybe, but the whole region was a tinderbox and it wouldn't have taken more than a lightning storm, even dry lightning, to set it off. In Alaska there are hundreds of forest or tundra fires every summer, sometimes dozens every day set off by lightning. A lot of times there is no rain.

I did some googling on this. (Chicago girl who honeymooned in Saugatuk found this interesting.)
Fire that night just didn't happen in Chicago and Saugatuk but also in Holland, Manistee and Fennville.
The author thinks it landed in Lake Michigan. Hate to think what would have happened if it landed on land. Death toll could have been astronomical.
Interesting post.

Bob Wood? Really.
A comet probably hit Mrs O’Leary in the ass and she kicked over the lantern.
