The best place in the state, I think, is in serious trouble today. Yay, fire crews, boo, idiots who won't leave their damn cabins. Full coverage from the Arizona Republic here.
And just a word on how this is just another face of global warming (see the movie!)...Arizona is in a multi-year drought. Now, this could be a coincidence, but at some point, you have to see that there are a lot of things going on that might happen once a millenia, that are happening, like, every year. Anyway, drought = sick trees. Sick trees = easy pickings for bark beetles. Bark beetles = lots of standing dead and dying trees. Lots of dead and dying trees = lighting fluid + kindling. This is what global warming looks like, guys.
