“These fires come after the wettest winter in Norcal in the last 100 years.”
Yep - all that water causes LOTS of little green things to grow. Which of course turn into LOTS of little brown things after a dry summer. Although this year wasn’t it a little wetter than normal for the summer?
Up here in Seattle we had a dry summer - 55 days without rain - then we had 0.002 inches which stopped the counting for one day in August. (Yes, the decimal is correct). I think it was the middle of September when we had the next rain - but that was actually worth something (0.25 inches or so).
I have never heard of it happening up here, but seeing the fires in California many years ago, I worry about our tree-filled neighborhood suburbia going up in flames sometimes. I can’t imagine what they are going through down there.

Must be some sort of weather pattern...South getting hammered with rain from the hurricanes...
