I clicked on the livestream, but it didn't work for me. Do they know what caused the giant house fire?

Other than ISIS? No idea on the news but it was actually FOUR HOUSES that went up.

My guess? Meth lab.

I suspect you're right. It would take a shit ton of chemicals improperly stored to set four houses on fire that quickly.

Had to chuckle at your disclaimer to the NSA about the school in Iowa.

Yeah, it was pretty quick, that fire...

And really, my genuine concern is more I don't want to give people ideas so... remember, Iowans are well armed!

We had tornado sirens go off the other night, and some of my students were sure it was ISIS. In [insert name of not-big city in a flyover state here]. Yeah.

Well, in fairness, if I wanted to scare the shit out of a bunch of Americans, a suicide bombing at a predominately white upper class elementary school in Iowa would be perfect....

But yeah, unlikely. The news hasn't said what it was but four houses went up... I think a meth lab blew because seriously, no smoke when I left, and twenty minutes later there was a honking huge plume of smoke so it started fast.

*not actually advocating that ISIS suicide bomb a predominantly white upper class elementary school in Iowa. Hi there NSA guys... do you like BSG fanfic?

Did you ever find out what this was about?

Electrical wiring gone bad, apparently.
