Heh, well take the local news here.
Last night, a thunderstorm rolled through. Some tornado warnings, but nothing touched down. Straight-line winds knocked down a couple of barns.
Meanwhile, there's a downtown bar here.
The local city council rejected the application for a liquor license on the grounds that it was an establishment clearly targeting underage kids and encouraging binge drinking.
Now, I'm as opposed to the 21 drinking age as the next guy, but this place was bad.
So the bartender, to keep up with the other new place, pulls the stunt of dumping bacardi 151 on the bar, igniting it, and having kids do shots and spit them into the fire. At the umpteenth iteration of this, something goes wrong.
Hospitalized are six people: 2 18 year olds, 2 19, 1 20, and 1 21. Two are still in the burn unit. A woman literally lost her face. (I mean, witnesses saw it come off in the bar rag)
Top story out here in the boondocks?
The four calves that were in a 100-year-old barn that was blown down all survived with minor scratches.
