Day after day after day.Sounds nice, right? Wrong.By July, the grass in the parks had turned brown and crunchy. By August, the Chicago River had dropped so low you could see the muddy bottom in some places. By September, people were getting nervous. By October, the city was basically one giant pile of dried leaves waiting for a match.Chicago hadn't seen real rain since July 4th. That's over three months of hot, dry weather turning everything into perfect fire fuel.The wooden sidewalks were so dried out they cracked under people's feet. The wooden buildings had shrunk and warped in the heat, creating gaps where wind could blow through. Every piece of wood in the city had baked in the sun until it was as dry as kindling in a Boy Scout's fire kit.Farmers outside the city watched their crops die. Wells ran dry. The prairie surrounding Chicago looked like a desert. Prairie fires started popping up almost daily, sending smoke drifting over the city like a warning nobody wanted to read.Inside Chicago, people tried to keep cool. They drank warm water from barrels. They slept on rooftops hoping for a breeze. Kids jumped into Lake Michigan even though the water was full of sewage. Nobody cared. Anything to escape the heat.The fire department fought small fires every single day. A spark from a chimney would land on a dry roof. Boom, fire. Ready to Start Learning Without Yawning?
