Up until yesterday, it has been dangerously dry in my area. Wild fires popping up all over, the DNR, and local fire departments have been busy. Yesterday and today we are suppose to get about .8" total, not a ton, but should help with greening stuff up so fires arent as bad. Just a few days ago there was a fire about 8 miles north of me that was rather big, burnt about 250 acres, we had all the local fire departments there, water planes from Brainerd MN there to help, luckily the wind was blowing in the direction of a small river and they kept it from jumping the river, a couple structures lost.
We need rain.
