Geo,
True dat. And, enough said.
Chris,
There are fossil records that prove California suffered droughts that lasted 2000-2500 YEARS, prior to human habitation. Do you wonder about why it didnt rain then?
You shouldnt. Nor, should you worry about it now. It happens.
If, I live on land surrounded by Federal land that sees no management for fire suppression, it likely falls on me to decide whether I stay or go.
The Feds dont live there. Fire isnt a problem in my neighborhood. It isnt an accident I live here.
Best,
Ted
