atom bomb
This was my view on the drive home yesterday. The SCU fire, something like 150,000 acres burned with 5% containment, low humidity, high temperatures and a lovely breeze to help it along. Pretty bad, eh? Just north of this is another one and then west there's another one..the smoke from each visible at different angles along my drive home. One of my favorite camping spots from when I was a kid is gone. www.ktvu.com/news/californias-oldest-state-park-big-basin...
Several of my friends have had to evacuate or are on evacuation alert. The school where my wife teaches will evacuate today...which is kind of a weird thing during the pandemic. The students were already learning from home but now the teachers have to stay home too and can't use the school and its resources. Not a problem for most of them since that is what they were doing at the end of school year. But some of them have had to evacuate their homes too.
Trump made the astute observation that California should clean up its floors so there isn't anything to burn, that way we won't have these fires every year. My question is how, specifically, in detail, do we do that? I'd love to know.
UPDATE: 230,000 acres burned, 10% contained
