So that concludes my posts about the two main fires in Lake county that were in my daughter's town.
Thank goodness no people were harmed or died. I did hear of two different firefighters who died fighting the fires this season.
There was a lot of spot fires as well in and around the three or four counties around Lake County. One just yesterday that was about 10 acres.
The fire season is not over yet.
I pray that rain will come soon.
Thankful for all the volunteers, firefighters, National Guard, and Prison Inmates who fought the fires and continue to do so.
There are many fires in Oregon, Washington and many of the Western United States.
This four year drought was the main cause of these fires.
The weather has been very odd as of late with flooding in many places of the USA, snow in upstate New York in August, large hail in the Calgary area of Canada.
There was snow in Austrailia which is in the winter season now, but snow in an area where there has not been recorded snow in something like 70 years.
The Earth has a great deal of changes as of late.
We shall see what happens in the next few months.
