The area got drenched a couple more times recently.
So much that it flooded the nearby state fish hatchery.
Don’t think the brown trout can make it upstream to cooler water as Delta reservoir dam blocks em.

DEC: Significant numbers of trout likely lost from Rome Fish Hatchery during recent flooding

Ponds that contained approximately 270,000 brown trout were inundated with flood water.

When does fire season "normally" end?

When does fire season "normally" end?

Around here ya can’t burn outside after all the snow melts and before things start growing again. Mid May or so.

I meant out West. When does the smoke season end.

Might be year round out there if it doesn’t rain or snow in places.

Wildfires in All Seasons?

In recent decades the number, severity and overall size of wildfires has increased across much of the U.S. In fact, the 2018 wildfire season in California recorded the largest fire in acres burned, most destructive fire in property loss and deadliest fires in the state’s history.

Does anyone really want to see news people standing in a hurricane? IMO adds nothing.

And how many times per minute are you allowed to use the phrase "hunkering down?"

Agree i think it is patently ridiculous to risk life and limb to report on a major storm . It seems common sense is always trumped by nonsense.

 

[Harvey]

I don't think they are risking anything (much), and I don't think reporting anything of value.

They are usually standing next to some brick building. And what are they telling me? It's raining and windy.

And officials recommend you hunker down.

How about watchin a forest service webcam's footage of the Caldor fire at Sierra at Tahoe ski resort on a ski forum?
Yikes.
