Hoosier Hills Marina is on fire with lots of boats burning at Patoka.
Just saw pics a while ago, lots of big boats are toast, bad deal.
Sounds like they got it under control fairly quickly considering. The news is reporting about 11 boats afire. Nobody aboard any of the boats.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer up someone else.
As cold as it has been I'm surprised there were boats still in the water. Is it not iced over in the coves?

Majority of those boats that burnt were large house boats. A friend of mine has his 48’ houseboat parked there. Don’t know yet if it was one of the damaged boats but the news tonite said fire started in one boat and spread to the others. If I were gonna guess,maybe a electric space heater was in one to keep the pipes from freezing and possibly started it all. Only the investigation by State Fire Marshal will determine the cause and that will take time. Marina from the news video showed it iced in also.
Son's houseboat was saved as the firefighters kept the flames confined. His boat had 2 boats between his and the active fire and destruction. He is on the side that you see burning in all the video's and pic's. So glad no one was injured.
