ffwaah…
It stinks around here. Outside, that is.
The big Cave Creek Complex fire, burning in NE Phoenix is the main culprit.. But, another, smaller fire north of Lake Pleasant (which is pretty much straight north of where we live), has joined the party. Along with several other smaller fires around the outskirts of town.
So, we walk outside, and the smell of smoke fills the air. peeeu!
At least nearly all the fires so far this year were started by mother nature. The lightning shows we had these past couple of nights were pretty awesome. Some parts of town got rain (down at work today, I wondered if we were going to float away, the rain was coming down so hard and heavy), while others never saw a drop of it. It’s a pity the rain didn’t go where it was needed most. The amount of rain we got down at work, surely would have put that big fire out up at Cave Creek.. or at least slowed it waay down.
That is the downside to getting all the rain we did earlier in the spring… Everything started growing like mad after the unseasonable amount of rain we got. And then once summer arrived and started drying everything out, well, it just created the perfect fuel for fire, and plenty of it, too.
Hopefully these fires won’t last long. I get headaches smelling all that smoke. Bleh.
