Telephone poles burned. I was thinking that I could have left a cell
phone in the kitchen, turned on, with an extended battery pack, but it
turns out a bunch of the local cell towers burned, too, so it would
have given me the same false indication.

I can't believe that some people still have shake roofs. You might as
well live under a pile of matches.
