This is why I have been zipped lipped since I heard it. New rule and all...

May I ask for a PM from someone to help clue me in - I've been Very distracted by a couple things, chief among them is our water well stopped working...... And now all day today and the next 1 to 1.5 days of rain will make troubleshooting difficult at best. With electrical testing and calling our well guy for advice before scheduling time for him to come out.....

And struggling with router settings to block websites kiddos have been wasting time on with their Chromebooks. (Ugh)

@KDOGG331 Lovely photos! The sky is red and there's ash coming down like snow flurries here, so your photos of wildflowers, forest, and clear skies are greatly appreciated.

I can't get over the number of homes and other buildings burned.
It has to be a unimaginable effect on wildlife.
If and when the rains come, the fire threat will move back to Australia.
How can this be more economical than the cost of fighting global warming?

It's mind boggling!
I used to live in the PNW, and remember driving through the fires (typical yearly fires at that time) and to see how bad this year's season is already...which has only just begun, is just mind blowing.

For those interested in a more in depth analysis, I found this interesting historical perspective of fires in the western US studying the fire and weather trends for over 2,000 years.

Believe it or not I actually just read it! Thank you! Looks like they conclude human effects on the landscape as well as increases in temperature and draught are the main causes of these devastating fires.
