After a brief introduction to the next Randwulf tour into the Middle Cumberland Plateau region – home of deep gulfs, canyons, and cataract waterfalls incised into the heavily forested landscape, RC returns to the descriptive personal accounts of the 1871 firestorm that swept across Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Then jumping forward to the Hinckley, Minnesota wildfires of 1894, and the Big Burn conflagrations in northern Idaho and western Montana in 1910, a pattern of similar reports emerge – leading to speculation about the source of the mysterious concentrations of atmospheric gasses. Kosmographia Ep081 The Randall Carlson Podcast with Brothers of the Serpent – Kyle and Russ, Normal Guy Mike, and GeocosmicREX admin Bradley, from 2/27/22.

After a two-month summer drought, combined with very high temperatures, several small fires started in the pine forests of Pine County, Minnesota. The fires' spread apparently was due to the then-common method of lumber harvesting, wherein trees were stripped of their branches in place; these branches littered the ground with flammable debris. Also contributing was a temperature inversion that trapped the gases from the fires. The scattered blazes united into a firestorm.[4] The temperature rose to at least 2, 000 °F (1, 100 °C). Barrels of nails melted into one mass, and in the yards of the Eastern Minnesota Railroad, the wheels of the cars fused with the rails.[5] Some residents escaped by climbing into wells, ponds, or the Grindstone River. Others clambered aboard two crowded trains that pulled out of the threatened town minutes ahead of the fire.

James Root, an engineer on a train heading south from Duluth, rescued nearly 300 people by backing up a train nearly five miles to Skunk Lake, where the passengers escaped the fire. William Best was an engineer on a train sent specifically to evacuate people.[6][7]

According to the Hinckley Fire Museum:

Because of the dryness of the summer, fires were common in the woods, along railroad tracks and in logging camps where loggers would set fire to their slash to clean up the area before moving on. Some loggers, of course left their debris behind, giving any fire more fuel on which to grow. Saturday, September 1st, 1894 began as another oppressively hot day with fires surrounding the towns and two major fires that were burning about five miles (8.0 km) to the south. To add to the problem, the temperature inversion that day added to the heat, smoke and gases being held down by the huge layer of cool air above. The two fires managed to join together to make one large fire with flames that licked through the inversion finding the cool air above. That air came rushing down into the fires to create a vortex or tornado of flames which then began to move quickly and grew larger and larger turning into a fierce firestorm. The fire first destroyed the towns of Mission Creek and Brook Park before coming into the town of Hinckley. When it was over the Firestorm had completely destroyed six towns, and over 400 square miles (1, 000 km2) lay black and smoldering. The firestorm was so devastating that it lasted only four hours but destroyed everything in its path.

Was both a structural and wildland firefighter in interior Alaska. The descriptions of these fires are totally believable and to be duly noted. Nothing like seeing a big wind driven fire with a 300 foot high wall of flame leading it. The tornados of fire, they are actually called firenados. One can look them up on you tube,
This one was around the corner and you can see the trees being ripped out of the ground and sucked in.
We had a fire around here in 2004 that burned 200 miles of forest, and it did indeed seem like the world was on fire and what an Armageddon would be like.
It's not supernatural or has to be from meteorites or such, massive fires can thrown fireballs all over and the sound is like nothing one has ever heard, like the world being ripped apart.
Very much enjoy Randall's podcast and series.

As far as jumping in the well and covering it back over with planks, Old wells in the mid-West have access covers on them with a small room beneath. This was to keep the head of the well away from seasonal winter air which would easily freeze pumps etc at the surface. That way they could draw water pretty much year round.

[algernoncalydon]

Having a series of fires started such as these is quite common in Canada and Alaska. That area is very similar to the region in which I live, River valleys and big lakes with a large area of wetlands. During hot summer days we have clouds created by the Great Slave Lake and they pick up moisture as they pass West over vast wetlands and river valleys. Then by the time they cross the border into Alaska they are loaded, literally. The shoot lightning like of like a disco ball shoot beams of lighting. The ones to watch out for are the positive lightning which can be ten to a hundreds time as powerful as negative lightning and also shoot 20-30 miles from the cloud that emits it.
Now we have real time satellite lightning maps and on some summer days there are thousands to tens of thousands of strikes. On a windy day it can mean the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of acres.The point being one doesn't need meteorites to start the fires, just nature.

My whole thought process about this Great Configuration shifted when he read that the shipment of axe heads melted into a blob. This was induction heat. That means the tornados of flame were electro-magnetic. This could have been plasma. Like what comes off the Sun with CME's. Seems it would be a good idea to start looking at Space weather as a cause. BTW you can smell and taste the "Plasma". To anyone who has set up a spark gap Tesla coil would understand. My son says it is ozone.

[acmebrainsurgery]

I could listen to Randall read these eyewitness accounts, or anything else, all day long.
Such a lovely voice and dispotion; it's very calming.😊

[DennisEHayes]

Another lightening bolt from Zeus, great Saturday.

[Spawn]

Randell is hands down the best thing ever

[baneverything]

Thank`s Brad and Randall for the GeoCosmic REX channel. Man I couldn`t sleep for two days binge watching those incredible videos. Scary stuff!

[rogerdudra]

I consider Kosmographica as a great learning tool. Time for school.

Timestamp 26:00 Sounds like comet tail "inundation" from a comet composed of ice made from frozen oxygen. Pure oxygen will spontaneously insight in the presence of certain oils, metals, and other organics. This is testable. And should be performed.

[vapormissile]

I feel like you guys are scratching an itch I never knew I had. Keep it up, guys.

[leonalia]

These podcasts about the the great fires are fascinating. Over here in Australia we have enormous bush fires. I have lived through two of them. The last one know here as Black Saturday the fire created its own weather. We lost a whole town called Marysville. Thank you Randall and Co.

[kellykelly]

I LOOOOVE the episodes you do covering all of these strangely intense wild fires! So not normal forest fires and/or city fires. Fascinating stuff. Keep up the great content!

[gulfgypsy]

Gonna enjoy this more than usual today -- Morning was busy here in central Florida --- had a small tornado touch down about a mile from my house --- thankfully no damage in my area but my vet's office was hit pretty hard and the neighborhood about 1/2 a mile from my front door was really hit with multiple trees uprooted and some of the houses losing their roof and parts of the building itself.

These fires were my favorite from the geocosmicrex channel. Discovering Randall changed my life I never knew how horrible and common these disasters were.

[patrickmcelhone]

Randall helps me wrap my mind around geological questions I've always had about features I've wondered about all my life in my native southern new England area. He's a treasure

[areneesouder]

I actually went back and watched this set of research subject over again today, and took notes, and am anxiously waiting for the next one. WOW

[Momo-xsmo]

Fires like this are probably responsible for the black mat layer at the younger dryas boundary. But I'm willing to guess that the fires at the Younger Dryas were orders of magnitude larger than the fires talked about in this video.

All the way from the Southern point of Africa, I count of the days like a kid to his birthday for every new Episode from South Africa
