Two folks dead. Unknown numbers of pets and wildlife. Some caused by downed power lines. At least one definitely arson. Umpteen by careless actions. More than 60 fires burning simultaneously in our state. Astronauts can see it from space. Worst drought in about 50 years. About 4 inches of rain in more than 10 months.

Crazy.
