Sunday caught me off-guard with how strong the wind gusts were. I somehow missed the forecasts or something, but those winds were crazy strong, which dries the vegetation and other fuel even further and then sends embers flying once fires do start, making them spread rapidly.

It's almost like it's nature's way. Like these kinds of fires have been happening for centuries and result in the fertilization and replenishment of the forest but we've only been noticing it since man decided to build homes in the path of organic progress. Weird.
