fire in a wheat field



We were driving right by a wheat field and suddenly a lightening bolt struck the wheat field causing a fire! It sounded like a bomb had gone off. Our Grandma called 911 to report it. Police cars showed up and watchers as well. Luckily the family in the house by the wheat field was home and came outside to watch or fight it. Here is a video of the burning wheat field and house in front of it with other cars and a police car.
