I really hope the fires don’t get too bad. I was unaware of the drought conditions.

I remember at the end of 2016 in the southeast where I am, we were in the midst of a severe, multi-year drought. Wildfires started popping up everywhere, causing lots of damage/ deaths.

It was very strange, the atmosphere was ‘foggy’ from the smoke for weeks. Praying for rain!

Heh. Your idea of a "severe, multi-year drought" is California's idea of "string of unusually wet years".

It is all a question of perspective.

(And what we call drought, well...)
