Well,
Mayberry Ada witnessed quite an event this afternoon. We had a big fire to beat the band. Mary Pat and I were driving for some mexican when we noticed a dark haze covering the sky. Being the meteorological expert I am, I thought it was receding storm clouds. Mary Pat, she thought it was a fire. We crossed Main Street, happened to look downtown, such as it is, and saw nothing but smoke and flashing lights. Turns out Ada'a largest building was on fire, and engulfed it was. Thick oily smoke rolled from under the roof in yellow plumes, and deep licks of fire flashed from the windows. After a few camera shots we headed out, and as the day faded we could see the growing fire from five miles out. Sad to say, little old Ada won't be the same tomorrow.
Garrick also took some great shots of the fire here.
