Forgot to mention forest fires that lead directly to mud slides in the mountains I swear, no one works harder than those fine folks that keep our roads open and power lines up There is no day or night for them until the roads are safe again.. It is often impossible to imagine how dangerous it can get for them. As they clear the road, the mountain continues to slide down upon where they are working. Then the winds come and make using heavy equipment not an option. Say a prayer for those who bring the coming of the roads.
