This is pretty much an annual event isn't it?
I remember going to a Padres game years ago and there was a huge fire in the hills beyond the outfield. Planes were flying by dropping whatever they drop on fires. It was kinda cool.

This. Christ. It could happen really easily here too. The wheat is about a week from being d-e-a-d dead and I've got a lot of places I can't get corn up. This place is close to be a tinder box.

Prayers to all affected.

My Aunt lives in Santee. I'll be going there at the end of July, early August for a family reunion...if my Aunt's house doesn't burn down. I'm supposed to sleep in one of her bedrooms.

We are turning into West Texas.

The Firefighters have been doing an amazing job keeping this from becoming a total disaster.

Did you catch any of that big rain that went through Dodge?

2003 and 2007 were the last times we had a fire of this magnitude and I don't quite think that this is on that level yet, except there are 8 separate wildfires right now which is more fires than usual. In square mileage affected, it's not as big yet.

Scary thing is that Fire season isn't usually until September, but we had a major drought this winter so we could be looking at a 5-6 month fire season.

Here was the reading in my car today. It's been an awful, hot, dry year.

**** no.


We got the 50 mph winds, though.

Saturday before last I planted corn. That day I chiseled it. FML.

hey uh so uh you wouldn't need someone to come down to your property and tag a monster ks spring gobbler before the season ends or bow a trophy buck in the fall would you?

Man this one is intense. Tomorrow is going to be hotter and windier than today.

Good luck you guys. That shit is ****ing scary.

Total destruction ****ing sucks.

Do they have any idea what is starting the fires? I realize it's drier than a popcorn fart, but there has to be an ignition source.

You guys can't catch a break again this year. Ive been going nuts trying to get my customers weeds sprayed but damn rain or wind or wind and rain have me so far behind Ill never catch up. Now they are calling for possible frost Friday at daybreak.

Hang in there, one of these storm fronts has to hit Scott.

The word Arson has been thrown around.
