@EdwinG@mstdn.moimeme.ca#BCwildfires and lighting storms have been quite unnerving for several years here: as high as 200-400+ active wildfires on a given B.C. Summer day. This B.C. Summer seemed to be a relief -- until last Friday's rolling ⛈️ thunder & lighting yielding 100 more fires. Not surprised of any correlation or cause by climate change given increasing trend of intensity & frequency of wildfires & lighting storms. Ongoing issues wrt potential water pollution and sleeper fires (aka zombie fires).
