Wish I could send you some thunderstorms right now

[Havenhunter]

Seems like the entire West is burning this summer. We’re a month away from peak hurricane season & each swirl coming off the African coast makes me wary. Wish the East could pipe you some water.

[Josie]

Scary. I sure hope it rains for all of you on the west coast.

[gregszybala]

Wish there was a way to change this.

[SurfaceHunter]

It’s been raining every week for months I think we went one week with no rain recently. Today it’s been raining for 5 hours already.

[SDhunter]

Thanks Dennis. I agree. Pray for rain

seems like every year here lately fires in late summer ,.wife snapped this pic of the sun yesterday in Utah

We had clear sky last night but smoke blowing in today and a new fire grew thousands of acres overnight Caldor fire burning more homes .

[SurfaceHunter]

And we had flooding

[south fork]

53,000 acres plus this morning 0 containment resources are limited because of the number of fires burning in N. California .

[Missouri Breaks]

Caldor moving fast.

[tomf]

No power for 48 hours. Air choking. Nearest blaze approx 6 miles north east. Ugh.

[south fork]

Power has been off and on 3 times in the last week . Same here choking smoke and light ash falling not sure what direction the Caldor is headed today not much of a breeze yet .

[Tam]

It’s tough out in the west .

[south fork]

Caldor fire is at 73,415 Acres non stop on the ash its on everything no containment yet . The whole mountain town of Grizzly Flats burned to the ground .

[south fork]

It's now 82,444 Acres Hwy 50 is closed Sly park to lake Tahoe and a wind shift today I hope they can the fire from keep jumping highway 50 . Parts of the flume that supplies water for a major portion of El Dorado county is wooden and right in the path of this fire . Water from the South Fork of the American River is diverted into a series of flumes / pipes / ditches and tunnels into lakes and reservoirs that are already low because of drought . A lot of homes lost and thousands are under warnings the breeze is picking up it clears the air but feeds the fire !

[south fork]

106562 Acres today and choking smoke sad to watch a good part of my old hunting grounds . And hundreds of homes burned to the ground and still out of control .

[south fork]

Winds up and the fire is out of control 156515 acres and growing
