Hurricane Weather
Hurricanes are forming...again. Igor is threatening the US Virgin Islands. Igor has grown into a very large Cat4 hurricane. Predictions show it growing into a Cat5 very soon. Igor continues to track west, but is predicted to hook northwest and threaten the East Coast.  The storm behind Igor is called Julia, which is also predicted to get big. There is also a wave of storms just south of Haiti, moving into 90 degree waters. Stay tuned.
Fire Season 
It's just plain SLOW. Some think it is our Government's way of controlling spending. I have heard stories of using the tankers to put the fires out fast, so camps would not be built. I have heard stories of the government actually controlling the weather. One guy even believes we can decide when and where a hurricane makes landfall, by controlling the central pressure of the storm and controlling the wind currents that steer the storm. These powers would also be able to control the winds that affect fires. Some think it's terrorists. Some think it is global warming. Some blame El Nina and or El Nino. I heard someone the other day saying we are headed into a new "ice age". 

I think we got a lot of late rains last winter and spring. Fuel moistures are high. Temperatures are down. Fires are not blowing up, they are moving slow. It is just a slow season.

Stand-by.... Santa Ana's will start soon. 

  
ps. Toaka says..... "I think the Santa Ana's might blow in a whole bunch of snacks."
