What happened before the deadliest fire in history #history #disasterhistory #shorts

For weeks, ash drifted across Peshtigo, Wisconsin.

People brushed it off their windows.
They swept it from their porches.
They watched embers float through town and carried on with daily life.

Small fires burned throughout the surrounding forests, but that wasn't unusual in 1871.

Then the wind changed.

What began as scattered fires merged into a firestorm so powerful that survivors later described the clouds themselves as burning.
