California still burning hot!


The fires over California are still burning bright and they are going strong in spite of the winds decreasing strength. The wildfires are a common occurrence in the sunshine state of California but this is a bit too extreme even for the Desert enriched state. This year around , CA has had only a small percentage of the annual rain that it gets every year which translates to a very dry ground. Dry ground means dried plants and the perfect situation for the 'hot winds' to form. Hot winds do blast through California on an average of three days or so every year.
But contrary to all previous records, the hot winds blasted through California for a record of 78 days this year and they are on at the moment. Can you imagine having a blazing hot wildfire going on and then to have hot winds blowing up the flame and making it even hotter. It is kind of like the bellows that is used in the smelting of iron, the hot winds only serve to feed the flame and make it even hotter. Today, about 2 bodies were found at a home that was burnt to the ground by the fires. And the flames are still continuing their march of destruction through California.
