A fire spread to multiple buildings today in the Dorchester section of Boston due to strong winds. It is indeed a windy day, though it is somewhat wet from recent rains and definitely not hot with the temperature at about +10C. It is not clear if anyone got injured in any of those buildings. Hopefully, they all escaped unscathed.

But it is important to remember that awesome powers of natural processes are always there, and it takes just a small misstep on our part and there we are, facing the wrath of nature.

If I see correctly, the siding of the house was also burning, which could fan the flame.

Yeah, it pretty much jumped from upper floors of one building on to the next.
