California Fires

[oneshot]

I have been all over California back in the ‘80’s their talking about places burning I am really surprised.

Exploding trees!

I’m not.  2 years ago the whole area we drove through looked like a giant brush pile.

Use to be the Vinards were pretty clean.

There was a bush growed out there that felt real oily, once it got dry it was like gas. Some places were just impossible to get to.

Use to like being up on the Mountains looking at L.A. 

Have set in L.A. Palm Trees, snow coming off the Mountains. Weird!

We used to save our Xmas tree every year just to light it on fire.   Darn close to exploding.

I fought wildfires in 1971 when is was at Pendleton.  Santa Ana winds.  It was a long time ago but even then, it was quite a deal.  No laughing matter.

My Sister’s farm is in Ione, CA. About an hour SE of Sacramento. No big fires in her area thankfully. They have prepared for a fire. All of the eucalyptus trees are gone, and they don’t tolerate scrub brush. Only a couple hundred acre hobby farm. Few trees, so the cattle have pole barns for shade by the water tanks.

My wife's aunt/uncle had a home in Oregon. The smoke got so bad that they had to leave.  Hopped in their RV and headed for Nebraska.  2 days later they got the call.  It's gone.  All they have for now is what they took with them.

Ok I was just watching. They are mulching heavy with straw. Fire is hitting the straw and going.
