Wal-mart fire

The date of the Wal-Mart fire is hard to pin down. WDAM says "store was shut down Sunday", on July 17, but that's only when the Facebook announcement was made. The actual fire was on July 16, or possibly even overnight on July 15 (I personally first heard of the fire the morning of July 16). I assume the store was closed and remained closed at the time of the fire, so I think WDAM's statement is just incorrect. So for now July 16 is the best date we have for the date of the fire and closure.--LarryM (talk) 06:26, 18 July 2022 (CST)
