2022 has been declared the driest and hottest year on record for the west and the east coast follows with the exception of humidity, so it is not as concerning as far as wildfires. The western wildfires are of upmost concern, and my followers in the western states appreciate an update on the wildfire situation! Some tips and pointers. . .Be very careful if warnings get called. NEVER try to outrun or even out-drive the fires. They can move at unrealistic speeds up to and including over 90 miles per hour. Stay informed with local authorities, and be ready to move at once when authorities deem necessary. ALWAYS follow through with a warning and order to vacate. I have safety information on my Tips For Playing it Safe Near a Wildfire – Tips & Resources post. Visit the NOAA NWS Fire Weather website for more important information.
