Weather History @weatherhistory.bsky.social · 4d

October 7th, 1825:
Raging forest fires in the Miramichi region of New Brunswick, Canada, destroyed over 3 million acres of forest. The blaze has been partly attributed to unusually hot weather in the fall and summer of 1825, coupled with outdoor fires by settlers and loggers.
