The NBC Evening News said this afternoon that an Xcel Energy Electric pole is believed to have broke and the electric wires
started it, but was still under investigation.

I find that very interesting as it's so similar to the story line they used about Maui. Hmmm....I was trained that if it walked like a duck, sounded like a duck, and swam like a duck.....it just might be a duck. Better put my tinfoil hat back on. :) God Bless y'all.

Saw that as well. A fire victim has already fired the first lawsuit against EXCEL. This is what started the deadly fire that destroyed Paradise, California.
Ultimately it will be the ratepayers on the hook.
