I would hate to be running from a wildfire. First, I can't run very well anymore and two, a person doesn't always know which way to run to get to safety.
If you have never been to Peshtigo, there is a good museum with lots of info about that day. Your story was very informed though, so you probably have been.
I got to admit I had a hard time finding your story this week. I guess I need more Ryan tips. Sometimes Substack baffles me:)
Thank you for your research on this post and interweaving it with your personal experience. I’d definitely never heard of the Peshtigo Fire before! I was thinking about fires in the Midwest recently with the destructive fires in Ohio appearing in the news. I think people on the east coast have only recently woken up to the threat wildfires pose to them in a changing climate and that it’s not just a western US thing. Hopefully, folks in Wisconsin also wake up to the danger too.
