Lots of fires in this kind of weather. Fire at a strip mall in NJ and this:

Massive 3-alarm Pikesville, Md., fire displaces 23, injures 2; fire crews working to extinguish

Yep. My (still) stranded daughter also told of several fires among the cars stuck in Birmingham. I’m guessing that many of them might be cars that had pulled into high vegetation on the roadsides, then dried and ignited the weeds via their catalytic converters. Army regs prohibited vehicles with cat converters in ammunition storage areas for that reason.
