Oregon wildfire explodes to half the size of Rhode Island.
Oregon wildfire explodes to half the size of Rhode Island.
The blaze was set off by lightning on July 17, and wind gusts drove the flames across brush, timberland and ranches

If I had a good concept of Rhode Island's size beyond 'smaller than all of the other states,' that would be a useful description.
Rhode Island is about 52 square ar-15 bud lights per bald eagle in size.
Oh I see. You should have lead with that.
Non problem, soon it will be the size of more recognizable cities.
Is Rhode Island the state smaller than any U.S. city?
It's 4 times larger than LA.
It's closer to 2-3 times larger, depending how you count
Rhode Island is 1545 sq mi, 1034 of which are land.
Los Angeles (the city, not the county) is 501.55 sq mi, 469.49 of which are land.
So by total area, Rhode Island is 3.08 times the size of Los Angeles.
Counting only land, Rhode Island is only 2.20 times the size of Los Angeles.
Thanks. That's what I thought.
About 50 miles by about 40 miles
See, now I have an idea of how long a mile is, unlike how big Rhode Island is. If only they had just told me how big it was in miles.
Here’s a map of the fires.
