| Remarks | We were in the house looking out the picture window in the living room, which faces west, and saw what we thought at first was a huge Roman candle that seemed to be coming from one of the houses on the ridge southwest, arced from left to right across the window and looked like it would land near or on Webster. We couldn\'t believe someone would be dumb enough to set off a large burning firework and we rushed outside to make sure that it didn\'t land in dry brush and start a fire. |
