As far as the theory that Homer burned the boat, or authorized the burning, I don't believe it. Homer would have owned up to it after all the uproar the incident caused. BTW: What were you doing in the cornfield?
We seldom get rain, most seldom do we get lightning in California. AND when you have a very "HOT CHICK" from Tucson, Arizona, you show here "LIGHTENING". But I don't recall if it was raining or not.

I'd bet anything Homer had nothing to do with it, but it may have been an accident.
