These “critical fire” danger warnings from NOAA are really starting to wear on me. Living in drought conditions for 2 years is killing everything. I watch the radar and there is rain falling all around me, but very few drops for this area. And living in the middle of a forest makes for uneasy sleep.
It might be our turn to burn like Canada.
The fire near Waseca was uncomfortably close to my inlaws. I agree, this is going to be the summer of out of control fires unless we can actually get a good amount of rain.
Between the drought and the penchant for humans to want to preserve the status quo, the fire burdens are high and are catastrophically near explosion. It’s a tinder box and the firebugs are licking their chops…
