I can see Mt. Shasta AND Mt, Lassen from my front porch/patio.
I notice a lot of odd clouds that I never saw growing up as a kid. Had family that got burnt out in the Camp fire. I don't know what's happening with our weather up here, but I can tell it's not normal. I ride a motorcycle as my only form of transportation… I pay a lot of attention to the weather and the sky. We just got out of a major draught last year… I think the are trying to control the water levels in the Dam's. Shasta lake (which fills from rain and snow runoff from Mt. Shasta) supplies water to much of California farmland via the Sacramento River…
and the Dam also creates a lot of electricity.
Water levels of the Dam may have some correlation to farming/produce prices, and may also be somehow related to PG&E's pricing. My guess is that the powers that be are doing some hardcore weather manipulation and fighting for control of resources. Fire's may be some sort of financial weapon, a retaliation for bad deals, or just an evil show of force. Anyways… I'll continue to watch the water.
