Be Careful What You Ask For…

You just might get it. This is one of my favorite proverbs by way of one of my favorite movies, The Big Chill. It has been a record dry summer here in the Northwest, and a record summer for wildfires. However, it was pouring when I woke up today. The five-day forecast calls for more rain. This could be a curse in disguise. While this might help the firefighters control the growth of the fires to the northeast of us, today’s forecast calls for thunderstorms and gusty winds that could exacerbate an already precarious situation. Let’s hope that neither comes to pass. We’ve already lost three firefighters in the Okanagan County wildfire.
