020: Wooden Phones for Wooden Towns

We have come back to our semi-regular podcasting schedule. We have missed each other and definitely missed y'all! After a few minutes of chit chat and forgetting to give our podcast name...oops? Also, this time it's not just Bre who is not sure she is saying things correctly. We get down to business. Brett goes back to 1871 for an enormous fire that jumped over a river! The Peshtigo fire was buried in history because it was the same day of the Chicago Fire. How some people survived was genius!



Then Breana comes into the scene with another flood scene. Another story that got a bit buried in the news because of COVID-19. End of May evacuations went down, and there were some dam fractures & bursts.

Did you know you could buy us a "coffee"..or beer, or whatever to help up create this podcast? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pdspodcast

Below are some of the information we mentioned we would add - as well as Breana's references since she spaced and forgot to adds them.
