	Awful lot of fires breaking out atm. (so many of them caused by stupidity), but atm everything is starting to get so dry that really even incidental sparks could cause it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKjSqVnShR0 Not a exciting video, but it is a fairly large fire that broke out less than a 10 min drive away a couple days ago. The local fire station (all volenteer run) seems to be getting called out at least a couple times a day atm (though they do cover crashes and what not, and help all the other local stations)

	Our fire season isn't for another five months, but then, I'm not sure Salt Lake City really gets a fire season. That's more west of here in California. But yeah, seeing the sky dark with smoke is always sign that nature is doing what it's supposed to.

But yeah, seeing the sky dark with smoke is always sign that nature is doing what it's supposed to. Did salt lake have plants? Seemed pretty baren? But yeah fire is definitly a natural catalyst of certain seeding processes in some species. A good example is a super super super rare orchad that was up in a area near one of our unis field station (As in rare enough that the numbers known were like under 100). Anyways, one of the proffs had the idea that natural fire suppression was causing the species demise, and seeked counsil/department of conservation approval to "burn" a certain ammount of the area these rare plants were in. He had a fair bit of objections (since if it didnt work...). But he got the permission, and lucky after burning, they had the best seed generation after that, in any known recorded period.

	Yeah, Utah is actually kinda deserty (from what they keep telling me...sure does snow a bunch though...). I'm not sure if you'd told me that story before or not, but I still find it amusing. I take it there's more than 100 of them out there now?

	Aus is having a pretty serious fire season as well. About a fortnight ago there were two big fires northeast and southwest of my area, the northeast one was so strong and so smoky it filled the streets with visible smoke. Plus I've been hearing the far south has been having dreadful fires this year.

We've had two like 100 year floods in the past 6-7 years though. Take some of that water plox.

Typically November-January is fire season, Febuary-March is flood season. Flood season started early this year. We've had a pretty major weather system moving down over the coast the last two days, my town hasn't even had the worst of it and we've had over 155mm (around 6 inches) of rain since yesterday.

We sent many of our fire fighters there...until we were like....um...looks like prehaps we need to keep some. We are lucky in the fact that we have quite a lot of water around. Even though the areas right next to the water is dry its not to far to water generally. http://i45.tinypic.com/mb5mjp.png Is a general map. There has been quite a few more fires around, but that one was one of the bigger ones. The aussie ones eat much much much larger areas of ground.

	ShadowedMoonlight We have floods when we aren't having fires, Ahh the joys of heavy soil impaction. The soil is so dry, that when its wet the water cant go anywhere. We are lucky that our soil doesnt get baked like that so its still pretty absorbant. Though since the quake certain areas on the coast are more prone to high tide flooding now http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/5243109/Tide-floods-New-Brighton
