i never fully grasped the severity of wild fires until i started experiencing the aftermath. growing up in the midwest, i never had to experience it; but in the last 2-3 years there’s been a crazy amount of them and they’ve affected my everyday life. and it wasn’t even until i was flyin to LA last year where i saw all the california wildfires from above. that really put shit into perspective at just how heavy all this is. it’s either i never really paid attention to the wild fires bc i don’t remember it being this bad and i’ve been out here in California for 10+ years now.. or these wild fires have really gotten out of hand in the last 3 years and if that’s the case, that’s pretty fuckin scary.
