| Name | Elizabeth Z |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I felt like I could almost touch the fireball. it was so close that it seemed as though someone was sitting on the roof of the house I was facing, and had just shot off a roman candle firework in a straight line. It just felt VERY close, almost like it could hit the power lines or something. |
