The fires in California although tragic really dont stack up against
Venezuela right now. Of course, since they are in residential areas
the human impact is horrible, but theres many areas worldwide showing
hugely more fires.
Even Queensland and NT show a disturbing number of outbreaks - see
Sub Sahara and Georgia in the USA also.
Seems built-up areas where one would expect less fires than in rural
areas it is not always the case.
You cant blame lightning and global climate changes (poof) for the fires in
built up suburbs. You should be in qld when they set the canefields on fire!
If you havent got Windy, I can recommend it for more than just your keeping
away from fire outbreaks- The menu for so many climate alternatives is amazing.
Havent counted them but there must be 40 or more.
Very interesting site.

Here's a few miniatures for you.
Note the general absence of fire in California.
Windy is so useful in the fire season - you don''t want to plan a camp in a fire zone!
You can zoom in till you can see individul streets/houses/geo details/roads.
t work anymore.

Well so what? Why does it bother you?
Have you not noticed that there is a sticky for fire reports?
Have you considered complaining about that?
Dont you think that knowing about fires position before or during travels outback could
be a great asset?
And in any case the site is full of interesting weather info and reliable predictions
that could even be lifesaving in wet and cyclone seasons
I PERSONALLY THINK THAT YOU ARE BEING VERY PRETENTIOUS ABOUT THE WHOLE MATTER
