33F this am, and bone dry outside, no dew. A couple of the brush fires I have worked we have found it burning 6-8” deep running the root lines. The larger fires around will burn for a few weeks and travel underground until we get a soaking rain
Down to 42 this am, lawn is crisp like the leaves that litter my yard. When we had all the rain the last two years I assumed we get into a dry pattern last winter, turns out it showed up this fall.
That’s the thing, a strong Cat 1 to Cat 3 would do significant tree damage in New England and frankly people are not prepared for the most part to be without power for more than a day.
My time living in S FL most people had hurricane supply kits and the state offered 2 tax free weekends before and during Hurricane season to help with planning.
