Do you think there might be a connection between these fires, many of which were caused by lightning strikes, and the recent legalization of same-sex couples in California? Yemei Noach - the Days of Noach - included the “legal” practice of same-sex unions….

Calif. firefighters battle more than 1,400 blazes
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Two of Northern California’s more than 1,400 wildfires choked parts of the Sierra Nevada foothills, darkening a 100-mile stretch between Sacramento and Reno with clouds of black smoke.
The fires in the Tahoe National Forest blanketed the Interstate 80 corridor linking the two cities and the foothill communities in between where tens of thousands of people live. The flames forced the evacuation of the tiny Gold Rush community of Washington.
Along the Pacific, firefighters hoped coastal fog would help them gain ground against a blaze that was just 3 percent contained in the storied town of Big Sur. John Heil, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service, said it had blackened nearly 62 square miles, or about 39,600 acres.
Firefighters made headway against a blaze of comparable size in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, increasing their containment to 23 percent. But the location hampered their efforts.
“It is extremely steep, very rugged territory, and there are a lot of injuries, twisting ankles, slipping on hills,” said Jason Kirchner, another Forest Service spokesman. Burning debris is “rolling downhill right past your containment line. It’s very complicated, difficult, dirty firefighting work.”
