It's like the apocalypse here. Heat wave was a nightmare. Because... We had freak weather and lightning. I don't recall *ever* having thunder storms during hot weather. But, that's what happened and is why the state is burning down.
We had a small storm in our city but somehow were spared. It's the Bay Area where it seems to mostly be uncontained fires (east, north, west), due to 10,000+ lightning strikes. The fire closest to our family is up to 340k acres. The evacuation border is at the end of my in-laws' street. I am convinced they will have to evacuate (or should), but I guess it just depends on which way the wind blows.
The smoke is unbearable in our city. It's been raining ash.
So... Pretty much just a typical week. 🙄
Stay safe everyone. Hurricanes and fires, and whatever else...
Apocalypse

My folks went through the Oakland Hills firestorm in 1991. The lesson is, get out while you can.
