    I think this is a bigger climate change issue than vast areas of dry brush or woods mire likely to burn ….

    – Forest fires are not new to the area but the increased risk and size are

    – who the f expects wildfires in Hawaii? How does it get dry enough for that to happen?

    – meanwhile I’m sitting here in the Northeast US with so much rain that even with way above average temperatures, my grass is still green and growing like Spring. Usually it goes dormant sometime in July and you don’t have to cut it much anymore (unless you water it) but I’m still more than once per week
