There was grass Fire in Minnesota today, North of the Major part of the Minneapolis/St Paul Metro, According to KSTP5 news, 7 homes had to be evacuated due to the fire, but no one was hurt, Smoke from the fire could be seen as far away as Western Wisconsin, people who had a good Western view, could clearly see the smoke. The smoke could be seen pretty good here in southeast Polk County, I was out taking pictures today after 2PM and I saw what almost looked like storm clouds to the West, but I knew there was no storms out there, so I decided to take a picture Because I never seen something like that in the sky before, You can kinda see the whitish mass here in this photo I took. Then later in the afternoon I looked at the Radar, and I could clearly see something on Radar
