<p>Warren: I would imagine that Eucalyptus trees are much like our
Western Red Cedar that has invaded here. It nearly explodes and
the embers are large and with the winds here, they will travel
over a mile.. Right now though there is not a breath of air.
Been that way for the last week...</p>

<div>I agree with Mike here- it's lack of prescribed burning.
It's done regularly here (In the Southeast US) to manage
timberland and maximize forest growth. It's done for some
croplands, too.</div>

<div>It's not necessary to "rake" or remove the debris to create
firebreaks and burn off the load of accumulated fuel. When the
market allows it, the diseased wood can be sold for pulp
rather than burn it.</div>

<div>My brother is a forester. I have seen him and two other
foresters burn well over 100 acres at a time here using little
more than one 4-wheeler and a couple torches. No drama
whatsoever, and his company's insurance premiums are
surprisingly low.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I won't pretend to know anything about forestry practices
in New Zealand, or even what kind of forests exist there, but
in the Western US our forests were managed by Native Americans
for centuries with prescribed burning as they understood it at
the time. There is also the addition out West now of
Eucalyptus trees, which are not indigenous. They explode and
burn like tinder when exposed to these fires.</div>

<pre>The closest to me is the Dolan fire (Big Sur), intentionally set, which is over 117,000 acres with 40% containment. A week ago we had the worst air in the world. Now that honor has moved north, but this morning and every morning when I go outside that is the aroma, smoke. Cars are covered in ash. I've lived in California since 58, here in Morro Bay since 79 and this is by far the worst I've seen. Many landmarks are no more.

And they say that we’re only half way through the season. Anybody hear about damage/losses from the California and Oregon fires?

Looks like Louisiana stands a good chance of getting another Hurricane.
I wish every one luck. Trouble does come in threes.
