The area of California that was on my short list for retirement has burned for the last three summers. Lake County, California, which includes Clear Lake. The map below shows just how much is burning near the lake right now. That's huge. I got this data from this shortened link: http://url.site25.net/71 .

In included the Bay Area in the screen grab for perspective and location.

Notice on the image under 'Active 2018 Incident', there's a list, then a note that says 37 more. 37 more active fires.

Lake County is beautiful. I've visited there many times. It looks like some property I used to visit has been consumed. But this is the third year in a row that Clear Lake has seen evacuations and pretty bad property damage. Well, shit.
