The summer of 2012, the continental U.S. has
witnessed, popularly media covered, 2 types of extreme weather
conditions. One is lightning storms accompanied by severe rains and
winds, and another is wildfires, more accurately, some conditions precursor to
wildfires, which have been blamed by lightning as well.
When wildfires occurred after a lightning
strike, and there are several fires caused within just a few miles of each
other around the same time, it has been additionally reported that many of
these fires ignited during extremely scorch conditions.
Exacerbating the situation, is that trees
that acted as the fodder for some of these fires, were drained of liquid that
was within them from various insects. The insects which did these might
be different from region to region.
CFCs in the air, are increases in 'holes' in
the ozone layer, are not helping bring about conditions that are not the scorch
and facilitating a primer for wildfires, in forests, national parks, heavily
wooded areas, and grass areas.
