With her passion for life, history, and story, Liz Tolsma is the author of several novels ranging from World War II to Amish fiction. While she thought she'd write one book and be done, her debut novel was a finalist for two awards. Now she's a full-time author and editor, and she has never looked back. She joins us today to share about topics close to her heart, and to introduce her latest release, When the Sky Burned. A Word of Inspiration Liz Tolzma's writing journey began much like other authors—at a young age with a vivid imagination and an innate knack for storytelling. Dubbed "Sarah Bernhardt" by her parents due to her flair for drama, Liz was encouraged by a supportive fifth-grade teacher who instilled the dream of becoming a published author. Adoption: A Theme Close to the Heart A big passion for Liz centers around the theme of international adoption. She and her husband have welcomed three children into their family from different corners of the world, embedding rich experiences and diverse cultures into their lives. Liz speaks passionately about how adoption mirrors God's unconditional love and adoption of us, reflecting how it has shaped her as both a mother and a writer. Overlooked History Brought to Life "When the Sky Burned," Liz's latest novel, captures the essence of historical fiction by intertwining real events with an inspiring story. Set against the backdrop of the lesser-known Peshtigo Fire of 1871, Liz carefully balances historical accuracy with the fictional journeys of her characters. Mariah Randolph embodies resilience as she transitions from an artist to a survivor of blindness. Inspired by real stories of blind painters, Liz weaves a narrative that highlights resilience, transformation, and justice. What's Next for Liz Tolsma? Continuing with her theme of stories based on real-life events, Liz is excited to be writing a fictionalized version of a reader's family history from World War II. Readers can connect with her through her website, newsletter, GoodReads, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, X, and her own podcast. Enjoy a series of 6 exciting novels featuring historic disasters that transformed landscapes and multiple lives. Whether by nature or by man, these disasters changed history and were a day to be remembered. Promising painter Mariah Randolph longs to have her canvases displayed in the world's best museums, and Hollis Stanford, the heir of a railroad tycoon, is her ticket to success. The railroad's bookkeeper, Jay Franklin, discovers discrepancies and is convinced that Hollis is stealing from the company. But any proof of his dirty dealings go up in smoke when fire utterly destroys the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, October 8, 1871. The fire leaves Mariah blind, but Jay befriends her and even helps her to start painting again. But a trip to Chicago to return Hollis's daughter to him could put both Mariah and Jay in more danger than even the fire that devastated the town and their lives.

It's a staple in our state - the Friday Night Fish Fry.  During Lent, consumption and emphasis on fish accelerates.  Where do fish numbers stand for the sought after yellow perch?  Are we getting the fish on our plate from Wisconsin - or someplace else?  That's what I discussed with Tammie Paoli, DNR Fish Biologist in Peshtigo. Paoli says Wisconsinites have a relationship with yellow perch that stretches back decades.  At one time, there were multiple commercial fisheries operating in northeast Wisconsin that concentrated on yellow perch harvest.  Today, one commercial fishery remains in Green Bay.  That facility is allowed to harvest 100,000 pounds of yellow perch - not nearly enough to cover all the plates Wisconsinites order in a week. Paoli tells Pam Jahnke about the history of yellow perch in Wisconsin, and where you might look for "locally" produced fish on your plate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bohnet Music Academy Isn’t it about time to take action on how you're going to give your children and grandchildren a good music education? Moses, David, and all the Saints of the church have worshiped God with musical might, so let’s be confidently found doing the same. Bohnet Music Academy instructs children and adults in how to be musically literate. That’s everything you need to know and do as the musician God made you to be.

Visit Bohnetma.com/crosspolitic for more information on how to equip your family to serve God’s musical commands. B-O-H-N-E-T MA.com/crosspolitic We start today’s newsbrief by heading to Hawaii. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/how-did-hawaii-wildfires-start-what-know-about-maui-big-island-blazes-2023-08-11/ Wildfires on Hawaii's Maui have killed at least 96 people, forced tens of thousands of residents and tourists to evacuate the island and devastated the historic resort city of luh-hai-nuh. It's the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. The Big Island of Hawaii is also battling wildfires, which have caused no fatalities. Firefighting crews were still battling flare-ups. The largest fire in Lahaina is 85% contained and has burned 2,170 acres (880 hectares), Maui County said. Another fire in upcountry/Kula is 60% contained and has charred 678 acres (270 hectares). Smaller fires elsewhere are now 100% contained. The fires, which started the night of Aug. 8, wreaked widespread destruction in Lahaina. The city of about 13,000 people on northwestern Maui was once a whaling center and the Hawaiian Kingdom's capital, and now draws 2 million tourists a year. Cadaver dogs searched Lahaina's charred ruins for victims, and officials said it was likely the number of dead would rise. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates it will cost $5.5 billion to rebuild the town. The Maui blaze is the deadliest U.S. wildfire since 1918, when northern Minnesota's Cloquet Fire, which raged for more than four days, claimed 453 lives, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The deadliest wildfire in U.S history, Wisconsin's Peshtigo fire in 1871, killed 1,152. Hawaii's fires also constitute the most lethal disaster to hit the islands since a tsunami that killed 61 people in 1960, a year after Hawaii became a U.S. state. Some Maui residents have questioned whether more could have been done to warn them. Witnesses said they had little warning, describing their terror as the blaze destroyed Lahaina in what seemed like minutes. Some people dove into the Pacific Ocean to escape. Sirens stationed around the island - intended to warn of impending natural disasters - never sounded, and widespread power and cellular outages hampered other forms of alerting. Hawaii Governor Josh Green vowed on Sunday to investigate the response and emergency notification systems. The causes of the fires have not yet been determined. The National Weather Service had issued warnings for the Hawaiian Islands for high winds and dry weather - conditions ripe for wildfires. Nearly 85% of U.S. wildfires are caused by humans, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Natural causes include lightning and volcanic activity. In Hawaii, less than 1% of fires are due to natural causes, according to Elizabeth Pickett, co-executive director of the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization. The Hawaiian Islands have six active volcanoes, including one on Maui. The spread of flammable non-native grasses in areas of former farmland and forest has created large amounts of small, easily ignited materials that increase the risk and severity of fire. Record-setting heat this summer has contributed to unusually severe wildfires in Europe and western Canada. Scientists say climate change, driven by fossil fuel use, has led to more frequent and more powerful extreme weather events. What was Biden’s response to all this? https://nypost.com/2023/08/14/biden-slammed-for-no-comment-response-to-maui-wildfire/ Biden slammed for silence on Maui wildfire catastrophe President Biden had yet to offer a verbal statement Monday evening in response to the mounting death toll in the catastrophic Maui wildfire — the deadliest US blaze in more than a century — after spending the weekend sunning himself on the beach near his Delaware vacation home. The 80-year-old commander-in-chief avoided reporters upon his return to Washington Monday morning, walking directly across the White House lawn to the Oval Office without approaching the press to give a statement on the tragedy, as US leaders often do. The White House later put out a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, taking note of the carnage in Maui and detailing government resources on offer to beleaguered residents. “As residents of Hawai’i mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place across their beautiful home, we mourn with them. Like I’ve said, not only our prayers are with those impacted – but every asset we have will be available to them,” read the statement attributed to Biden. A day earlier, the president offered a stony-hearted “No comment” when asked about the death toll, which has climbed to at least 96. During a bike ride Sunday morning, Biden gave a similar unfeeling answer when asked about the tragedy. “We’re looking at it,” he said when asked if he planned to visit the Aloha State. Biden is currently scheduled to visit Wisconsin Tuesday and travel to Camp David Thursday to meet with the leaders of South Korea and Japan the following day. He is then due to travel to Lake Tahoe, Nev. and remain there until Aug. 24. Bloomberg reporter Justin Sink posted a photo of Biden lounging with a group of people on Rehoboth Beach Sunday afternoon, triggering outrage on social media. “I campaigned for you,” raged former Hawaii legislator Kaniela Ing early Monday. “Now, when I lose dozens of my friends, family, and neighbors. This?” “You’ll hear from the president on this,” Jean-Pierre promised. “I don’t have anything to announce at this time, but certainly, he’s the president and you’re going to hear from him.” https://www.breitbart.com/border/2023/08/13/exclusive-40k-migrants-apprehended-along-southwest-border-in-first-10-days-of-august/ 40K Migrants Apprehended Along Southwest Border in First 10 Days of August Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 40,000 migrants along the southwest border during the first ten days of August. The Tucson and Rio Grande Valley Sectors reported more than 10,000 each. Unofficial reports obtained from law enforcement by Breitbart Texas reveal that during the first ten days of August, Border Patrol agents apprehended 39,324 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry. This is an average of 5,708 apprehensions per day. The Tucson and Rio Grande Valley Sectors reported 10,867 and 10,465 migrant apprehensions, respectively. The five Texas-based border sectors accounted for 23,119 of the 39,324 migrant apprehensions. Following a sharp drop in June, migrant apprehensions reportedly spiked again in July with the arrest of more than 130,000 migrants, the Washington Post reported. If the current apprehension rate in August continues, U.S. Customs and Border Protection could report the apprehension of nearly 177,000 migrants in August. Now this! https://www.reuters.com/article/uganda-lgbt-president-idAFL8N39R0ZU Uganda president defiant after World Bank funding suspended over LGBT law Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni on Thursday denounced the World Bank’s decision to suspend new funding in response to a harsh anti-LGBTQ law and vowed to find alternative sources of credit. The World Bank said on Tuesday that the law, which imposes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts, contradicted its values and that it would pause new funding until it could test measures to prevent discrimination in projects it finances. The World Bank has an existing portfolio of $5.2 billion in Uganda, although these projects will not be affected. The anti-LGBTQ law, enacted in May, has drawn widespread denunciation from local and international rights organisations and Western governments, though it is popular domestically. Museveni said in a statement that Uganda was trying to reduce its borrowing in any case and would not give in to pressure from foreign institutions. “It is, therefore, unfortunate that the World Bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into abandoning our faith, culture, principles and sovereignty, using money. They really underestimate all Africans,” he said. Museveni said that if Uganda needed to borrow, it could do so from other sources, and that oil production expected to start by 2025 would provide additional revenues. He added he hoped the World Bank would reconsider its decision. In June, the United States imposed visa restrictions on some Ugandan officials in response to the law. President Joe Biden also ordered a review of U.S. aid to Uganda.

The anti-LGBTQ law, enacted in May, has drawn widespread denunciation from local and international rights organisations and Western governments, though it is popular domestically. Museveni said in a statement that Uganda was trying to reduce its borrowing in any case and would not give in to pressure from foreign institutions. “It is, therefore, unfortunate that the World Bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into abandoning our faith, culture, principles and sovereignty, using money. They really underestimate all Africans,” he said. Museveni said that if Uganda needed to borrow, it could do so from other sources, and that oil production expected to start by 2025 would provide additional revenues. He added he hoped the World Bank would reconsider its decision. In June, the United States imposed visa restrictions on some Ugandan officials in response to the law. President Joe Biden also ordered a review of U.S. aid to Uganda.

Six years ago, families in Marinette and Peshtigo, Wis., got the news that would change everything, for them, and eventually the whole state. PFAS from firefighting foam produced for years at nearby Tyco Fire Products had infiltrated groundwater, creeks, streams and drinking water wells across the area. Now University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers say they've linked contamination in Lake Michigan's Green Bay to Tyco. But it's an issue that goes far beyond Green Bay. PFAS have been found in water bodies and drinking water sources across the state, including Eau Claire, La Crosse, Madison, Rhinelander, Marshfield, Manitowoc and Wausau, often near airports and airbases where training with firefighting foam has gone on for decades. While two types of PFAS chemicals called PFOA and PFOS have been phased out in the U.S. and will soon be regulated in drinking water by the EPA, there are thousands more, many of which are still widely used in all kinds of consumer products. Hear what needs to happen next to get a handle on growing PFAS contamination across Wisconsin and the world.

We take a look at a map of a cyclonic storm that occurred on the day of the fire encompassing 75% of the US. We will look at more first hand accounts of the harrowing details of the fires of 1871 in Peshtigo, Marinette, Manistee, and other towns. Then we dive into Reverend Peter Pernin's account of the events of that day including description of fire balloons falling from the sky. Stone buildings were reduced to calcinated ash. One large house was observed to burst into flame and rise 85 feet in the air on its own updraft. What could cause such devastating effects? We'll take a look at some alternate theories like: Was it the result of Biela's comet? Was it a firestorm weapon? Was Greek Fire used? Was there an electric phenomena?

The release of a group of toxic chemicals called PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are used in firefighting foam, has resulted in separate lawsuits on opposite ends of the U.S.The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports a town in Wisconsin named Peshtigo filed a lawsuit against Tyco Fire Products and over 100 other companies involved in manufacturing and designing PFAS compounds because of contamination of drinking water, property and natural resources. Also, Fox 8 reported lawsuits filed by North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein that target makers of Aqueous Film Forming Foam and the companies that manufacture AFFF components with PFAS. 3M, Chemours and DuPont were listed. Peshtigo's lawsuit claims over 230 of the town's drinking water wells were contaminated by Tyco and other businesses. Tyco, located in a nearby town, tested firefighting foam with PFAS outdoors from 1962 to 2017. It stopped after finding foam in the soil near the company's fire training center and a sewer system.In North Carolina, Stein's lawsuits center around contamination at Piedmont Triad International (PTI) airport as well as Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. Stein alleges the companies were aware of the dangers firefighting foam posed to first responders and natural resources. The issue dates back to 2019 when the city of Greensboro drafted a $31 million mission plan to resolve the issue that began in Greensboro and made its way to Wilmington, nearly 200 miles away.

Vientos como los de un horno ardiente. El fuerte rugido mientras las llamas se precipitan haciaTi. Contienes la respiracion hasta que te desesperas por respirar. Cuando por fin respira profundamente, el aire sobrecalentado te abrasa la tráquea y los pulmones, y cae al suelo con apenas unos segundos de vida. La fecha: 7 de octubre de 1871. El lugar: Wisconsin. Las condiciones: extremadamente secas. Los árboles habían dejado caer sus hojas. Los pantanos y las turberas se habian secado. Estallaban incendios por todas partes.Nadie sabe dónde empezó el fuego. Tal vez en el denso bosque de Wisconsin o en los lechos de turba secos como la yesca. Primero se extendió a la pequeña aldea de Sugar Bush, donde murieron todos sus residentes. Un incendio de este tipo crea sus propios vientos huracanados, y este envió llamas de 60 metros [200 pies] de altura rugiendo a través de los bosques donde los árboles explotaron por las llamas de 1100 °C [2000 °F] de temperatura. Peshtigo, Wisconsin, con todos sus edificios de madera, fue la siguiente en su camino. El fuego tardó veinticuatro horas en llegar, pero por la falta de comunicación, nadie lo vio venir. Doscientas personas se agolparon en una taberna con la esperanza de estar a salvo, pero todas murieron. Otros se ahogaron al huir a un río cercano. Al día siguiente, los equipos de rescate enterraron a 350 personas en una fosa común al no poder identificar los cuerpos carbonizados. Un pueblo tras otro fueron engullidos hasta que se quemó un área dos veces mayor que el estado de Rhode Island. El infierno ardiente mató entre 1,500 y 2,000 personas, y destruyó aproximadamente dos mil millones de árboles. A causa de la pérdida de vidas humanas, se considera que este fue el incendio más devastador de la historia de los Estados Unidos.Durante los meses de sequía prolongada, los predicadores habían gritado que el fin del mundo estaba sobre todos ellos, que podrían arrepentirse porque el fuego del infierno estaba por llegar. Este mensaje impidió a muchos buscar refugio a tiempo para salvar sus vidas. Creyendo que era el fin del mundo, esperaban resignados su destino.La venida de Cristo al mundo será sin previo aviso, al igual que los fuegos de Wisconsin. «Como en los días de Noé», miles de personas en Wisconsin no se dieron cuenta del peligro hasta que fue demasiado tarde. Tú y yo sabemos que Jesús viene pronto. Asegurémonos de estar preparados para recibirlo.

The sky to the west of the small town of Peshtigo (PESH-ti-go [not pesh-TEE-go]), Wisconsin glowed red before the sunrise, on the morning of October 8th, 1871. It was Sunday, and when the local priest stepped out of his church to greet parishioners, the air was smoky and white ash fell like snow.The priest, whose name was Peter Pernin, turned and went back into the church and ran to the front of the sanctuary.

In northeastern Wisconsin, fires set by hunters, Indians, lumberjacks, railroad workers, and farmers burning stumps and rubble culminated in the nation's worst forest fire, in terms of lives lost. No writer has yet to equal in vividness, imagery, or sheer drama the contemporary account of the fire written by Father Pernin, the parish priest for Peshtigo and nearby Marinette, whose churches both burned to the ground. Published in Montreal in 1874, ostensibly to raise funds for a new church in Marinette, Father Pernin's account may have also been an attempt to exorcise the memories of that October night during which he suffered fearfully while behaving heroically.

The smoke was suffocating and blinding. The roar of the tempest deafening. The atmosphere scorching. Children were separated from their parents and trampled upon by the crazed beasts.

Caregivers could be helping anyone from an elderly parent to a newborn baby. Group meals also began at both Kathy's House and Ronald McDonald House prior to Covid. Mealy set a goal of 5,475 meals (or belly hugs!) in total. This number is in honor of her late Father, Rob, and is the number of meals the family shared together during Mealy's childhood growing up in Peshtigo, WI. Diane (her mother) and Kellie (her sister) were both caregivers for Rob for several years and Hollie witnessed the extreme love and support they both put into making sure his needs were met. This often led to their own needs going by the wayside. Mealy and the Relief Squad intend to provide Relief in the form of home-cooked meals to area Caregivers so that they have the feeling that someone is caring for them too and they aren't “going it alone.” Mealy and her family were the recipients of many such meals during her father's illness and they always had the “pay it forward” attitude and loved to bake and cook for others.

On October 8, 1871, two fires were set ablaze. Though one is likely written in your history books and one has been left to the ashes. While the Great Chicago Fire was burning through the Windy City, there was a much more disastrous event happening here at home: The Peshtigo Fire. 150 years ago, The Great Fire of 1871 destroyed Peshtigo, burning down all but one building and killing 800 people in the city alone, according to The Peshtigo Fire Museum. Charlie and Gabriella walk us through what caused this natural disaster — including weather patterns and standard industry practices of the time — as well as why it could never happen again. We also hear from Barb Englebert Chisolm, who does historical reenactments of how her ancestors survived the fire.

It's October 1859. Adele carries her bag of wheat toward the grist mill, in a wooded patch of Northern Wisconsin, when she freezes, frightened. There, between a hemlock and maple tree stands a beautiful woman clothed in dazzling white, wearing a yellow sash and crown of stars atop her flowing golden hair, until...she's gone. The vision of the woman fades, and Adele all alone, continues on her way. A second encounter with the mystery woman a few days later is just as startling, compounded by the fact this figure doesn't say a word. On counsel from a priest, Adele is prepared for her next encounter and says to the figure: In God's name who are you and what do you want from me? I am the Queen of Heaven, who prays for the conversion of sinners, the woman says, and I wish you to do the same. The Queen of Heaven—the Blessed Virgin Mary—proceeds to explain to Adele what she's being called to do: teach the children of this wild country what they should know for their salvation, while also encouraging Adele, that she's not going to have to do it alone.

SPEAKERSJim du Bois, Kenny Blumenfeld Jim du Bois 00:00We wish there was another way to say it, but it's dry. This is Way Over Our Heads. It's a weather and climate podcast. I'm Jim du Bois. Kenny Blumenfeld's a climatologist. Kenny, kind of a haze hanging over things today on Wednesday, July 21. How is that making you feel? I'm a little hazy myself today, I think because of that haze. Kenny Blumenfeld 00:24Yeah It's ah, it's kind of an eerie feel out there, especially the odor because you're really smelling smoke from fires in Manitoba and Ontario that have drifted in on the winds aloft and then get mixed down. You know, I guess, today, as we're recording, it's not as hot as it's been, and it's not as hot as it's about to be. So, I guess I'll take that. That's fine. But yeah, I could do without the kind of apocalyptic feel of all that smoke in the air. Kenny Blumenfeld 00:57You also? Jim du Bois 00:58Yes, exactly. And the haze is limiting temperatures a bit, too. It would be warmer today, wouldn't it, if not for that haze? Kenny Blumenfeld 01:06Oh, yeah, we've actually had several days now where smoke and haze have probably limited the temperatures by up to five, five degrees Fahrenheit or so. So, you know, even over the previous weekend, there was a milky haze in the sky. That was a combination of actual haze, and the particulates drifting in from some of the farther afield fires that were burning. And those did conspire to keep the temperatures, you know, I don't know if you remember all the way back on the weekend, but we actually had been forecast to be at well above 90 degrees initially, and those didn't happen, and much of Minnesota ended up in the high 80s because of that haze. And then early this week too, temperatures were expected to be 90 or higher Monday and Tuesday, and we just barely got to 90 in the Twin Cities both days. So came in a few degrees shorter than what we would have expected without the haze. And it's doing it again today. And I assume as long as the winds are blowing from a region that's burning, we will see some cooling effect on our air masses. But it's not going to make it feel cool once the heat kind of kicks back in. It'll just cool it down a little from what it could have been if there hadn't been any haze or smoke present. Jim du Bois 02:23Well, let's talk about how dry it is, and we have another drought monitor update coming tomorrow, Thursday, July 22. But if anything, it's just going to get worse than the last drought outlook, isn't it? Kenny Blumenfeld 02:38Yeah, I mean, you know, we did have a little bit of precipitation in parts of Minnesota last week. But the big story is Minnesota is not getting enough precipitation. You need at least an inch a week right now. You know, from now, right through August, you need an inch a week to keep pace, and we're not anywhere near that. Much of Minnesota is five inches short of precipitation just since the beginning of June. So, I think until we flip and start really getting precipitation in a widespread fashion, I would expect the drought conditions to continue expanding and degrading. That's kind of the term we use in the drought world, you know, where you basically move to worse categories of drought. So in my day job, I talked to the media a lot about, you know, current climate conditions or pervasive trends in our climate. And we've started to get questions about well, why, why has the posture changed? At the beginning of the summer, people were saying that it's not that significant of a drought, and now we're talking about it as a major drought. So it's kind of two points here, Jim. One is it is a major drought. At this point, there's no denying it. We have widespread impacts across Minnesota, everybody, I mean in pretty much every sector is feeling the effects of not having enough water available. Whether you're a farmer, and even we've seen instances of farmers that use irrigation still having crop stress because there's, there's really, they're not even enough moisture available from some of that groundwater that they're using. So, it is a major drought, but it's also an evolving and changing situation so early in the summer, even when we were talking about it a few weeks ago on this podcast, you know, we didn't know where we were going. But at that point, it was just dry. The impacts were starting to show up but they weren't really widespread. Well, now we're in what what many call the acceleration phase, right? This is a very hot time of year climatologically. The sun is still fairly bright. It's not quite as bright as it was a month ago in June. But this is where you would normally see drought really taking off, and our drought has really started taking off in the last couple of weeks. And I would imagine, you know, I can't game the system, and I don't have a crystal ball, but if we don't start getting meaningful precipitation, I would imagine that we're just gonna see the conditions deteriorate further through the summer. And I can't tell you, Jim, if this is going to be a historic drought that everybody talks about, but I think it's already become the kind of drought that you know, people who maybe are early in their careers, they're gonna remember this one, and kind of compare the next one to this. I think people with longer careers or who have been around longer as residents, you know, still recognize that 1988 was a much more severe drought than this one so far, but we don't know where this one is going. And it seems to have elbowed out the other couple of recent droughts from 2012, and even 2007. So, again, it's not yet as severe as 1988. But it is no joke. This is a major drought. We're seeing really low stream levels, lake levels, the moisture in the soils just been nose diving across Minnesota. And you got to go pretty deep, you got to go a couple feet down, and there you've still got some reservoirs of moisture leftover from the really wet period, you know, a few years back, but the topsoil in particular, quite dry. And, you know, we're seeing ponds drying up. Brown grass is everywhere, trees drying up, so it's just dry. And yeah, it's just a dry summer. Jim du Bois 06:37Well, and the drought isn't limited just to Minnesota, it really encompasses a large portion of the western United States and the southwestern United States. And you mentioned, of course, the haze holding down the temperatures which is the result of fires that are burning. And in Oregon, I'm sure a lot of folks have heard about the Bootleg fire. That fire is so massive, it is encompassing an area that is actually greater than the area of the city of New York. And the impact of this fire is such that it's actually creating its own weather. There's talk of pyrocumulonimbus clouds forming. What exactly are those, and how can a fire actually create weather? Kenny Blumenfeld 07:27Yeah, I mean, this is, this is the thing. I mean, we do see this occasionally. It's not that unusual. But some of these fires have gotten really enormous. And they're being fueled by themselves at this point. And then they create their own weather, as you say, and you can actually search for Bootleg fire and you're gonna get lots and lots of analyses and resources about it. You'll even see a little map come up. It's in basically southwestern Oregon. And it's by no means the only fire, either, it just deserves its own attention because, well, you just said larger than New York City, that is a very big fire. And this thing is roaring. So, a pyrocumulus cloud is kind of what it sounds like. It's a cloud a cumuliformer, heapy, billowy cloud that's made out of smoke from large fires. You can actually picture this because whenever you, you know, you're driving down the road and you see someone's bonfire or you see a fire that's gotten a little out of hand, you see what looks to be like a big cloud of smoke forming. Well, with a large wildfire forest fire, that heat is so enormous that you get these billowing plumes that go up 15, 20, 25,000 feet, and they actually become their own kind of cloud with updrafts and downdrafts. And they tend to be very dry. And so when cool air at the top of those clouds starts to descend, it can cause the cloud to collapse. And then this descending and very dry wind gusts out from the middle of this cloud and just fans the flames even further and kind of produces a fire front, essentially, that just sort of moves like a, kind of like a bow wave out ahead of a boat, out ahead of the fire and ignites new fire, and you see all kinds of strange behaviors. But we've also seen on some days and with other fires, including some that have been in Minnesota in other years, where the pyrocumulus cloud becomes big enough that it forms an anvil top, produces a little bit of precipitation and produces static discharge in the form of lightning and thunder. And then it becomes a pyrocumulonimbus, or basically a fire-generated thunderstorm. And it doesn't stop there, Jim. You've probably heard of these fire whirls, these little... Jim du Bois 09:51Yes. Kenny Blumenfeld 09:52...they're kind of tornado-like or waterspout-like whirls that form in some of these really intense fires. And some of these, in some instances, when the thunderstorm or the pyrocumulonimbus cloud gets big enough and mature enough, it can actually produce a legitimate fire bred tornado, which is, I mean, I like tornadoes and extreme weather. But I remember as a kid having a nightmare that there was a tornado made out of fire, and I never forgot it. And the fact that these things actually happened is somewhat terrifying. So, you get kind of a supercell thunderstorm forming out of fire, and it produces a supercell-like tornado. Woo, yeah, so the Bootleg fire is massive. And because there's no precipitation falling in this area, I mean, it is the dry season in Oregon, and so we wouldn't really expect much precipitation this time of year. So there's nothing to put the fire out. And as it gets bigger, and it produces these cloud and weather systems, it's just going to keep breeding more fire. So it grows and kind of fits and starts, and sometimes explosively with these, you know, outward gusts of wind that exceed 40 or 50 miles an hour and just fanning the flames all over the place. So yeah, quite an event up there. Jim du Bois 11:18Well, you mentioned, Kenny, that these pyrocumulonimbus clouds can generate what is essentially a fire tornado that actually was documented in Wisconsin back on the eighth of October, in 1871 in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. There was a large fire, and residents of the area reported seeing a fire tornado, and this was a very deadly fire. The death toll varies. Apparently, the records weren't kept very well back then. And I've heard anything from several 100 to over 1000 people perished in that blaze. So, I mean, fires, these are just amazing, the impact they can have on the weather as well. And and, you know, bring in these things that are the stuff of our nightmares. Kenny Blumenfeld 12:07Yeah. And, you know, I think that we all kind of started waking up to the terror of fire in the last decade, when the footage started coming in from McMurray up in Canada. And from some of these towns that were just, you know, people trying to escape that were fleeing for their lives, as fire was engulfing towns. And now of course, we've seen more footage out of California in the last few years. And then what we have here, and what we had earlier this summer, in British Columbia. And now here we are in Oregon. Yeah, I mean, fire is an incredible mechanism once it gets big enough. And it is, it can be, you know, pretty unnerving and terrifying to see. And, you know, you mentioned the Peshtigo fire. And you know, we here in Minnesota, in the early 20th Century, we had the Cloquet and the Hinckley fires. And you know, some of it has to do with land management. But when you get into really dry conditions, it doesn't have to be a heatwave, if it's just too dry, and there's not enough water in the vegetation, and you have a lot of downed vegetation or fallen vegetation for whatever reason, you start developing a really good checklists for building some nasty fires. So, one of my concerns, and I'm, you know, certainly not trying to scare anybody, but you know, the DNR and the US Forest Service have been fighting fires pretty heavily all year. And you know, our main fire season is in the spring, and then again in the fall, but there's still fires burning in parts of northern Minnesota, northeastern Minnesota right now. So even though it's not really the wildfire, forest fire season, it's been so dry, and there's enough fuel, that the fires are going even through what's normally our wet season. So I am a little concerned that as we get into September, if we don't see meaningful precipitation across a wide area, then we would have, you know, as the relative humidities drop naturally during fall, you know, we could have an explosive fire season if the climate doesn't get some things under control here. So you know, nothing, nothing to alarm anyone about but just not something that we would like to see because it has been very dry, and we really would like to come out of it. Jim du Bois 14:23Well, we're recording this on Wednesday, July 21. And in the days ahead, it looks like the temperatures are going to move back into the 90s again in a good portion of Minnesota. And this heatwave. Kenny, is there a heat dome involved with what we're going to be seeing here very shortly? Kenny Blumenfeld 14:42Yeah, that's a good question, Jim. So, I think you mentioned the heat dome because this has been a popular, popular term in the last few months, and a lot of times I kind of play a curmudgeon, it's like ah, this popular term, ah you're gonna have to clear things up. This one actually makes a good deal of sense. It's not a technical term. And I'm not sure what people picture, but I'll just put it real simply, is that hot air, warm air generally expands. And so, if you just take a given volume of air and you add a bunch of heat to it, that volume of air will grow. And the heat, the heat would sort of force the same mass of air to expand. And so, when you get a big hot air mass in place, the core of that air mass tends to be rather tall. And then as you move away from the core of the hot air mass, the height of that air mass starts to kind of shrink, or the thickness of it. So, if you were to look at it from the side, which would be super hard to do, but or if you could kind of color the temperature contours, you'd actually see a very subtle, wouldn't be steep, but you'd see a very subtle kind of dome shape, with the highest part of the dome corresponding roughly to where the highest temperatures are, on average, through that part of the atmosphere. So in that sense, anytime you have a good warm air mass moving in place, you kind of do have a heat dome. It's just that the one that we had in June was so well defined and had these very firm edges, it actually resembled a dome more than just about anything that we've seen in recent memory, for sure. So yes, there will be a heat dome associated with this hot air mass, it does look like it's going to be centered in the Dakotas. That's not great for them. But it's, I guess, merciful for Minnesotans. However, you know, this is basically an offshoot of the same mechanisms that have been driving the drought conditions for the entire western half of the US. It's the same mechanism that kind of ties our drought to the Western drought, and similar mechanisms that caused some of the extremes of heat in June in the Pacific Northwest. You know, even more recently in Montana, where temperatures rose into the 100 and low 100 teens. So yeah, I think that we're in for some really hot air, especially out to our west. But the one thing that kind of gives me a little pause is I wonder if we're ever going to really lose the smoky, milky veneer on the sky. And that might keep our temperatures from getting really out of hand. But you know, at least saving us from a couple extra degrees of heating. But yeah, it does look like a very hot air mass moving in, especially Thursday in western Minnesota, Friday over much of the state and then really into the weekend. And I would not be surprised if in many areas, the values that we record, top what we had observed during the June heat wave here, we might see some triple digit temperatures, possibly close to if not in the Twin Cities. I think it's more likely to see temperatures of 100 or higher out in parts of western Minnesota. But I wouldn't be surprised if Friday and maybe even into the weekend we have these really high temperatures. So Jim, I gotta ask you, you're a heat guy. You Like It Hot. But is there, is there a point, and I'm being serious, is there a point where kind of enough is enough and you'd like...I mean, are you are you kind of just eating this up? This is the summer of glory for Jim du Bois. Jim du Bois 18:34Kenny, that's an excellent question. And as much as I love the heat, I have to say that I'm starting to tire of it a little bit. Not so much because of the heat itself. But all the other things it brings. If we had heat punctuated with some nice rainfall, that would be great. If we had heat minus wildfires that are creating air quality alerts, I would much prefer that. So no, I I'm really kind of, I guess, less than enthusiastic now, just because I'm seeing the downside of all of the hot weather we've had so far this summer. Kenny Blumenfeld 19:10Yeah, that makes sense, too. I mean, it's drying everything out, too. So you know, if you have a lawn or garden, it's making you work harder to maintain it. And at some point there's going to be restrictions where you're probably not supposed to do that anymore. So... Jim du Bois 19:24Well, they're already here. Kenny Blumenfeld 19:26Yeah, OK. Jim du Bois 19:26Got the city of Minneapolis, St. Paul, I believe New Hope, Golden Valley and some other cities have watering restrictions right now. So we're we're at that point. And what's amazing is here in Minneapolis, we actually get our water from the Mississippi River, and it used to be the cities that would be the most impacted by dry conditions would be those that depended upon wells for their water supply. But the level of the Mississippi right now I believe may be approaching some record lows if I'm not mistaken. Kenny Blumenfeld 19:57It's, it's not quite at the historical benchmarks, but it's dropping below some critical values up at the Anoka guage site. It is low. I mean, you know, you don't want it below what is it, 1500 cubic feet per second? And I think it's dipped below that threshold already. And then maybe it might have recovered a little bit. But yeah, you start getting into record territory when that drops below about 1000 CFS, cubic feet per second. Yeah, here in St. Paul...so I live in St. Paul, and we agreed that we wouldn't water at all beginning in May. It just seemed dry, and it seemed pointless. And we were...figured we'd save water for other purposes. And we're kind of transitioning our lawn anyway, so it wouldn't be a priority use to take water that could be used elsewhere for other purposes for us. So, we've had our own kind of self-implemented watering ban all summer. But it is a, it's kind of hot and dry time. So the other thing that is probably worth pointing out is the heat. Heat has been a little bit hard to forecast the last couple of weeks because there's been these different forces. So you've had on one hand this big ridge or dome, kind of heat dome or ridge of high pressure out west. And when it has lurched into the region, we've gotten really hot. We've also had this kind of almost semi-permanent low pressure area off to the east and northeast that's been providing these bouts of much cooler air, even into Wisconsin and Minnesota. Did you notice, I think it was last week, some of those really cool nights? You wake up and as in the 50s in the morning... Jim du Bois 21:39Oh, very pleasant. Yes. Great sleeping weather. Kenny Blumenfeld 21:42Yeah, kind of marvelous. And it was almost like in this summer of smoke and hot mayhem, where did that come from? And you know, parts of Wisconsin that have not, especially if you go in in the northeastern part of the state, they're kind of wondering what we're talking about because they they've had adequate moisture and precipitation, and it's been relatively cool, most of the time. So, it has been difficult to forecast the high temperatures, especially over Minnesota, which is kind of in this transition area between the very persistent and extreme heat out west, and the much cooler conditions off to the east. It does look like though, I mean, we've seen this now on all of the models that, you know, there might be these little breaks in here for a day or two, kind of like we're having today as we're recording, it's not super hot. But everything that we've seen suggests that the majority of the next two weeks will be warmer than normal, possibly hot. And you know, some of the longer range models that we use to kind of help us see out a week or more, they're indicating that the heat is going to hold on right through the end of the month and into August. So you know, again, with some breaks possible, but the bottom line is there isn't any, anything that's emerged come over the horizon yet that tells us this is all about to change. And we could be bracing now for the hottest period of summer so far. Jim du Bois 23:11Well, Kenny, we're seeing the dew point now starting to creep up a bit, and that will happen over the next few days. Does that bring any hope at all for any relief in the form of precipitation? Kenny Blumenfeld 23:22Yeah, that's a good and optimistic question. And I think that, um, you know, one of the one of the things, Jim, we've now heard from a lot of people in agriculture, and I think we get it, I think that the picture is that crops are stressed across the state. Plants and gardens are stressed across the state. Lawns, of course, are stressed across the state. But there are pockets of even central Minnesota, and definitely parts of southern Minnesota, where there have been at least occasional beneficial rains. And you can see some difference where you can see some improvement where it's, you know, kind of apparent that things have fared at least a little bit better, or maybe they even look almost normal. But as we get more humid, we could hope that more of these precipitation events will affect more of the state. I don't see a real clear signal of anything widespread. But what I'm hoping for is that as we start to heat up, you get enough heat to drive, you know, individual isolated thunderstorms that then, you know, hit at least some small proportion of the area and drop a decent amount of precipitation. So, I think it would just kind of enhance or at least continue the kind of pattern that we're seeing where there's kind of drought and dryness-related problems visible pretty much everywhere. But you do see these small pockets where there's been at least almost enough precipitation in these very small pockets where things are doing okay. And I'm kind of thinking that that's going to continue. So through the heatwave, I wouldn't be surprised if we have thunderstorms in and around the state of Minnesota somewhere on most days, but on any given day, these thunderstorms or showers occupy, you know, only between one and 5% of the state and generally aren't providing more than a quarter to a half an inch in most of those places, and maybe some isolated amounts higher. So, kind of mixed news on that front. Like I do think there will be some thunderstorms and some, some much needed rains. But I think they're going to be very isolated and, you know, confined to relatively small areas until we get a, you know, a major weather system coming through that can actually produce widespread precipitation. Let's hope. Jim du Bois 25:50Well, fingers crossed on that, Kenny. And yes, over the next few days, if you suffer from any respiratory issues, you should be very, very cognizant of the fact that the air quality is not good. Also, as the temperatures and the dew point start to creep up, make sure you're well hydrated. Stay out of direct sunlight. Just take care of yourself, and listen to your body. Kenny Blumenfeld 26:15Yeah, good, good reminders, Jim, for sure, because it's a, it's not going to be a real easy time. And I think that the, you know, I'm not a, I'm certainly not a psychologist or social worker. But my hunch, just based on some of the conversations that I've had, is that these tough weather conditions are also sort of taking a toll on people mentally. So going into a heatwave that feels almost unrelenting could produce some additional stress. I'm sure. Jim du Bois 26:45Exactly, and not that the last 16,17 months or so haven't been pretty tough for other reasons. So... Kenny Blumenfeld 26:52Yeah, that is true, Jim. Jim du Bois 26:53It's kind of pouring it on right now with the uh... Kenny Blumenfeld 26:58Yeah, so you're saying that this wild weather isn't happening in a vacuum. Jim du Bois 27:03Exactly. Exactly. Well, everyone stay safe. Kenny, as always, great chatting with you. And we'll check in with you again in about a week. Kenny Blumenfeld 27:12Very good. Yeah. Good talking with you too. And hopefully we'll have some better news coming soon. But we are in a drought, and you should not expect big changes in something slow moving like a drought. Jim du Bois 27:24This is Way Over Our Heads. It's a weather and climate podcast. I'm Jim du Bois. Kenny Blumenfeld's a climatologist. We'll catch you next time.

In this episode, we look at the events surrounding the Great Peshtigo Fire - the deadliest wildfire in American history. If you've never heard of it, that's probably because it took place the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, on October 8, 1871. Unlike the blaze in Chicago, however, conditions surrounding the Peshtigo fire turned it into a phenomenon known as a firestorm – a debris-laden flaming tornado that swept over the town of Peshtigo and surrounding communities at horrific speeds and temperatures, ultimately killing at least 1500 people (and possibly as many as 2500). We'll give you some eyewitness accounts, an overview of just how flammable Peshtigo was in 1871, an introduction to the Peshtigo Paradigm, and the rundown on why you never want to use a white pine for a Christmas tree.

How many times have you listened to a story and wanted to jump in, interrupt, to share a story of your own? Is it because you think your story is better, more meaningful or entertaining? Is it because you want to connect with the person and you know finding something in common is a good way to do that? When I read a recent article by my friend Tom Dietzler, and he posed those questions in the context of a story he listened to, I was intrigued and reached out to ask him to chat about that on a podcast episode. ON FIRES, HISTORY, AND JUST LISTENING … told the story about Tom's deep dive into a 4 part series hosted by Lindsay Graham (not the Senator) on the topic of the great fire of Chicago in 1871. As he listened to the details of the beginning of the fire, and even into the second part of the series, Tom desperately wanted to interject, to remind the narrator that there was another fire with even more fatalities and larger footprint at the same time, just 250 miles north of Chicago, in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. It took him a while to even realize he was doing this, but when he did, he had to take a step back to figure out why. And that's the reason I wanted to chat with him. When we listen to a story, it's easy for our own similar or related stories to pop into our heads.

This episode is about The Great Peshtigo Fire, the qualities of port, and an anecdote from "This Day in History".  The Great Peshtigo fire is relatively unknown because it happened to occur on the same day as The Great Chicago fire on October 8th, 1871. The Great Peshtigo Fire burned over 1.2 million acres with an estimated 1500-2500  deaths. Of course, in comparison, this dwarfs the Great Chicago Fire, with 2000 acres and 300 deaths. The fact that Peshtigo was so remote and that Chicago hit the news first are both major factors to why this fire remained relegated to forgotten logs of history. Map of peshtigo fire: https://www.weather.gov/grb/peshtigofire Map of wisconsin : https://www.google.com/maps/place/Peshtigo,+WI/@45.0849951,-92.2312432,6z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4d52b1606ab30d4d:0xd56d8ce5a4890b09!8m2!3d45.05443!4d-87.7492721“The Great Chicago Fire received more attention because Chicago was a much larger city; there were over 300,000 people living in Chicago in 1871 compared to an estimated 1,700 in Peshtigo. Chicago also had better means of communicating and accessing the rest of the world. Peshtigo was a rough frontier town in the woods, with a single telegraph line that was destroyed by the fire. When news of the tragedy at Peshtigo reached Wisconsin's capital on Oct. 10, 1871, the Governor and other state officials were away at Chicago helping the victims of that fire.” --https://historyengine.richmond.edu/episodes/view/6356Father Peter Pernin wrote “The Great Peshtigo Fire” (His first-person account) https://content.wisconsinhistory.org/digital/collection/wmh/id/46362The summer of 1871 was very dry. Farmers and railroads took advantage of this by clearing land and burning the slash piles.Very different attitude towards fire safety. No smokey the bear. Multiple fires had been burning all summer. Peshtigo had been fighting off fires for several weeks. Leading up to the week of the fire, Pernin and residents felt impending doom. The evening of the 8th, the wind starts to rise quickly. Pernin gets more nervous and about 8pm he starts hearing a sound like thunder and train cars in the distance and a crimson glow in the western sky. Page 12:  he's digging a trench next to his house to bury books and church valuables. “The only consideration that could have induced me to keep on working when i found it almost impossible to move my limbs, was the fear, growing more strongly each moment into a certainty, that some great catastrophe was approaching. The crimson reflection in the western portion of the sky was rapidly increasing in size and in intensity; then between each stroke of my pickax i heard plainly, in the midst of the unnatural calm and silence reigning around, the strange and terrible noise already described, the muttered thunder of which became more distinct as it grew each moment nearer.”Now very windy. He says it goes from violent to hurricane strength. Page 14: Now everyone is fleeing  the fire towards the river “the neighing of horses, falling oInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

The greatest fire in American history, in terms of loss of life, occurred in the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin in 1871.  Most people haven’t heard of it, and even people who live in the region today aren’t aware of the disaster which happened in their own backyard.  150 years later, there is speculation that the cause of the fire might have come from a highly unusual source, and some data from other fires might help solve the mystery. --------------------------- https://www.fluentin3months.com/ Executive Producer James Makkyla Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhere Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretrip Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EEDailyPodcast/ Website: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/

The area of origin was in or near a barn owned by Patrick and Catherin O’Leary. Legend says the fire was started when Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked over an oil lamp. This was denied by Mrs. O’Leary. The true cause of the fire has never been determined.Yes, October 8th was a big day.

First- my apologies to Wisconsinites for my pronunciation of Peshtigo, which should see an accent on "Pesh"., not "Ti" as I have done. I relied totally upon visual research and not audio.  The story:  On October 8, 1871, an area of Northeastern Wisconsin half again the size of New Hampshire was utterly destroyed by a cyclonic wildfire which was being driven by winds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Somewhere between 1500 and 3,000 people were killed, and the damage to farms, homes, and livestock was beyond measure. Twelve communities were literally wiped out. The little town of Peshtigo suffered the most fatalities. On that same day, far away from Peshitgo, a cow kicked over a lantern in Mrs. O'Leary's barn in Chicago, starting a conflagration that destroyed most of that city. It was Chicago that received all the headlines- yet the Peshtigo fire still stands and America;s deadliest fire ever. This includes the eyewitness account of the Catholic pastor Father Perrin- whose account served as the basis for the handful of articles and books that followed.

How can the dead speak when we’ve deemed them too unimportant to listen? On this episode, we’ll explore what Lena Johamesson calls the “significant insignificances” of history through the lens of two Wisconsin fires: The Great Peshtigo Fire, and the fire and murders at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin. This week’s questions are: How and why do historical events and figures become significant? Is there a way to reframe the way we think about or approach history to elevate what Johamesson calls “the significant insignificances”? What tiny but crucial details do you care about in your historical subject of interest? Please be sure to get in touch with your answers! Find me on Twitter and Instagram @ladycryptoid and by email at ladycryptoid@gmail.com.

This episode is dropping on October 8th because this day in history marks the 145th anniversary of a day when terrible fires wiped out cities and took the the lives of thousands of people in 1871. One fire, the Great Chicago Fire, is well known, but there were other big fires, including one that not many people know about that actually claimed more lives and that was the Peshtigo Fire. The summer had been abnormally dry and it did not take much for the fires to spark and spread. The stories about these disasters are tragic, leaving behind emotions and turmoil that seem to fuel paranormal activity. And then there is the odd twist that these deadly fires occured on the same day. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the 1871 Infernos! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Michael Rogers and features the baby eating giant statue in Bern and This Moment in History features the Second Opium War.

On this edition of the program, Rick is joined by Evan Pilak of the group Peshtigo. Peshtigo's music reflects the music of the 80s featured in knockoffs of John Hughes movies. Their first live show is Saturday, August 27th at the Cactus Club where they will perform first (aim to arrive around 9:30 if you're cool enough to attend). Their joke song "Permission to Party" was recently criticized by the Christian group ACNRA (http://acnra.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/peshtigo-terror/) In addition to the interview, Evan also performed "Sad Song" from Peshtigo's eventual debut album.
