    Iti used to be in SoCal our fire season was in November. Now it is almost all year round. Sometimes it's hard to imagine a fire so big it's destroying towns and cities. When you think it's only Sept and they are talking about maybe the end of the year to get the fire out. Our fire dept. now has a fleet of converted Blackhawk helicopters for firefighting. They can fly at night and in times and places other helicopters can't. Part of the problem is for years people wouldn't let the forest service clear out the dead pine trees. They have a bark beetle. You can now see all the brown trees in pictures. When they dry out and fall they're like having paper laying around in the woods The ones still standing but brown are so flammable they go up like a roman candle.
    In my tract we have a lot of firefighters or firefighter families so there are a lot of the Thin Red Line flags out in support of them.

    Yeah - It's depressing to see the our planet literally being slowly destroyed in front of our own eyes. Our world leaders better wake up and begin dealing with climate change because it's not going to get any better if we don't.

    It doesn't happen too often here but we got hit this week with Storm Barra. For a small Island we had a lot of exposure, with wind, rain sleet and snow. Schools were closed the last 2 days. Back to normal tomorrow Thank God

    So we here in the Salt Lake valley did not get a white christmas, as the rain from christmas eve and the 23rd washed pretty much all the snow away. Which made people here in northern utah complain "it's not fair! we want snow!". Well, Mother Nature heard them and dumped a bunch of snow on us the day after christmas. And she ain't done yet, as another snow system is headed our way. However, this time it's going to be so much worse. We're going to have a snow squall, which is a sudden burst of heavy snow, which will drop the temperatures down into single digits on Saturday night. Single Digits! I feel so sad for the animals and humans that have to be out in this.

    This describes this summer to a 'T'! Weeks on end over 100, heat indexes nearing 120! In Louisiana! Burn bans in place, all vegetation brown and crunchy. Still 94 @10:00 at night (the normal high here!) No break in sight!
    So terrible in so many places. Eagles referenced Lahina and Joshua Tree burning!
    Prayers for all. The only upside, my outside dog is loving staying indoors enjoying A/C!
