Summer has many answers to the extreme rains the mountains of Southern California have received this past winter. The answer I’m focusing on is the strong probability of wildfire. These mountains burn every 50 years on average, and this year, if a fire starts as the Santa Ana winds come hot and dry off the desert, the rain-swollen bushes will burn like a hell we have never seen.
