1936 - A forest fire burned several miles east of the town of Bandon, Oregon. The fire was far enough away that residents were not particularly worried. A sudden shift in the winds drove the flames westward and through town. The fire, caused by summer drought and fueled by the abundant Gorse Weed found in many of the empty spaces between buildings in Bandon, caused so much destruction that only a handful of structures were left standing when the fire finally died down.

Lude was an unincorporated community in Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, United States.
The community was located southeast of Long Point on Lude Road, now Lake of the Woods County Road 52. A post office operated in Lude—with Alexander Lude as postmaster—from 1904 to 1934; all traces of the building have been removed. The community of Birch Beach has replaced what used to be Lude.
