Today I headed out with the family to watch my Daughter in her crew competition. All through the Batsto forest I noticed water everywhere and trees down. Many had crossed the road, saw lots of fresh cuts all along the side of the road. Then on our way home there was a strong smell of burning wood.

Yeah it's been pretty crazy round here lately. I seen that fire from work and ya wouldnt think there could even be a fire with how wet the ground is. Lots of uprooted pines over my way. The ground's soaked, but the trees are super dry..
