Right, and how many have we had since one of the most exceptional years on record? Also our flatter land tends to avoid temp adversions that trap smoke and really reduce air quality.

That said, the pollen is terrible.

The worst one in history was 9 years ago and 4 million acres burned.

That’s almost as much as California this year. If you have that much hubris as to think another event won’t happen like that in Texas with increasing frequency, then I guess enjoy Austin?
