California is Burning

California is burning. According to Cal Fire, over 40,000 acres are currently burning with no estimate of full containment.

Two years of drought coupled with several months of intermittent north winds, which are very dry, have made California a tinderbox. The winds have fueled two of the current largest fires spreading them over 20,000 acres in just a couple of days.

It seems ridiculous that just east of us states are flooding while our state goes up in smoke.

Pray for all the firefighters.

Pray for all the people who live in areas of high fire danger - that is pretty much everywhere that is not in the middle of town.

Pray that all the morons that persist in throwing lit cigarettes out of the car window or mowing their tinder dry grass will get a clue.

Pray that we won't get any lightning storms in the mountains - lightning strikes cause fires that burn hundreds of thousands of acres every year.

Pray for rain- although it hasn't rained since March and won't again until October at the earliest.
