We recently lost our internet due to wildfire damage. It was gone for a week I think. It felt like the good ole days. Suddenly my friends were important again. People flocked to Star Link connections like rats leaving a sinking ship.
It was not a full report. The good news is the fires burned most of the fuel within at least a hundred mile radius. So for a good while we are safe from more. I won't even elaborate on the flood we had spring of 22' and how all the trees being destroyed raises that specter. Our second evacuation in 6 months a solid percentage don't seem to be returning. Had enough I guess. I never left. Would rather die in a fire than in an evacuation center from the latest designer disease.
Fucking hell, glad you're still here. Is this the usual? In England, spring was shite but September had a heatwave (probably June's belated sunshine) but as usual, nothing apocalyptic. Like your bloody-mindedness though. ;O)
No strange weather, river lower than most around here can remember. Oddly those who evacuated were more damaged than those who stayed. The homeless were evacuated to large southern cities where the street drugs overwhelmed them. No numbers, of course, but some have died.
Also in the initial evacuation order around a dozen cars & trucks wound up abandoned on the highway of fire. Some hospitalized and numerous dead animals in trailers that burnt to the ground behind trucks. No dead humans, miraculously. Close calls in abundance, not on the news! The town of Enterprise was devastated. The lesson there, steel roofs stop fire, asphalt shingles fry your place.
In England the roofs are usually slate or tile. Bloody glad that no-one got killed; shame about the people who suffered with the drugs though. I suppose it's a bit difficult to adopt the principle that the best way to put out a fire is to not have one, when half the countryside catches fire. Good luck for the future.

Glad to hear that the fires didn't do worse damage than that.

Kinda believe in God, luck not so much. All the best wishes to you and yours.
