All it needed was a small fire to start and the wind to be blowing in the right direction and the whole lot would be toast.
As much as I appreciate Tabs' alternative sense of humor the real reason behind this must surely be a mixture of bad planning and bad luck.
Here we go with the "I feel your pain" train of thought....Forget the bad planning or bad luck...this is AN ACT OF GAWD...is this a vengeful Gawd or a benevolent Gawd at work here? GIVE ME AN ANSWER, so that I will know.
