There's a wildfire burning in North Carolina.

It's been burning for over a week. It's the largest uncontained wildfire currently burning in the United States. It's burning in a national park.

Today, around Noon, I heard that the size of the fire was approximately 63 square miles in area. Authorities are saying it may smoulder for months.

Eek! I have relatives in NC. Is it anywhere near Raleigh?

No, it's closer to me, on the border of Virginia; here's (http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/06/10/Wildfire_still_burning_in_NC/UPI-79141213138223/) the article about it that I posted, last night.
