To many wildfires.

 

Looks like the entire state is burning.

Six inches of rain over three days. That's our average July total! We got half that in about ten minutes yesterday. Ground is soaked and every sprinkle turns into a river. Sump pumps are getting a workout.   If you want some, bring a bucket, bring a barrel. Bring a truck.

Insane smoke out today. Worst air ever recorded here. Sunrise over the water looked apocalyptic. 
Pretty bad in town as well.

Didn’t stop this guy from letting the top down in his C5 of course. He must be a heavy smoker because my lungs wouldn’t handle that so well.

No better here. Stayed indoors. 95F, 100+ heat index and you can taste the air. Cars/truck covered in ash. Neighborhood looks like its on fire there so much smoke.

I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.

 

Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

.30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
