We were lucky, only one fatality. It ran up a lightly populated hilly
region between two suburban ones.

You don't need to go back that far. They are getting more common
in the NE year after year-- a fairly big one in western MA last
summer; One in western NY last week-- and the scroller on the TV is
reporting one in the Catskills as I type this.


One came 1/4 mile from the house when I was little.



I'm happy to say I haven't been within miles of one-
