Its not over yet folks, this doesn't look good. Should be muddy and wet right now.
oh please...Some of the trees on my property have been around since Jesus Christ, thats a lot of dry summers Joe so don't be such an alarmist..50% of the years are dryer than average so lets not act like we all have guillotine hangin over our heads every time we are below average- If you feel like that, you need move down the hill..
And think about this- Everytime there's a fire like this, it makes us all safer from future fires..

My time is too valuable, but I can donate money...Where can I do that?

Actually, 50% of the years are dryer than the median, not average. And then there is the standard deviation, and 90th percentile. You better study some more data with your beer.
And I had a 100 year old tree fall and almost hit my house this winter, eventually the numbers catch up with you. Good luck!
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Yes, I'm having trouble as well, which is why I added the address to my post - you can mail a check directly to them instead. Thanks VL!
