PNW & Western wild fires. Know anyone affected?

The Southwest in dry, extremely dry in NV and AZ. Govt. for the first time is reducing the downstream flow of the Colorado from the Glen Canyon Dam.

WOW

I heard a quote from one of the fire service officials on the news saying that the average moisture content of the understory currently burning in Yosemite is less than that of kiln dried building lumber right now, and we all know how that burns

Yeah, I heard an interview where the number 4% was mentioned.

Yah, Jerry Brown (governor of CA) mentioned that on the news last night. Driest ever measured. SF is very worried about their water supply from north Yosemite as well.

Maybe this is John Muir's revenge for damming Hetch Hetchy:

Yah, there are many ghosts from the days of setting aside the national parks, and the wars over the resource use of Yosemite. I think it was a crime that they dammed up HH myself. Serves 'em right.
