It happens that I drove by the site of a natural disaster, though it was probably helped along a little by the doings of man. Most people haven't heard about the Peshtigo Fire because the Chicago fire got all the news that day, but-- the Peshtigo conflagration was bigger by far, and killed many more people-- estimates range between 1,500 and 2,500-- nobody knows for sure. Several towns in that part of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan got leveled in a huge, wind-whipped firestorm fed by a cold-front advancing over drought-stricken timber and farmland. Several smaller fires had been burning for some time already when the front came through.
It is reliably reported that Katsung's enemies had nothing to do with it since their grandfathers hadn't been born yet.
