I think the origin may have been in or near the Minto Flats, with thanks to NYC_SKP for pinpointing! It's very swampy and in an area as non-mountainous as you get here in the Interior. I hope it was, because it's quite unpopulated by people and buildings, and the critters sense them before they hit and mostly get to safe ground.
