Feds currently doing a press conference on the unprecedented start to the fire season across Canada. Sounds like fire fighters are coming in from all over the world. Already 8.15 million acres burned.
BC jumped up to 1.7 million acres, almost all of that in the NE of the province.
I also was grazed on the se. edge of a brief, hot cell with just 0.19". It won't go far and didn't soak down very far, but it still helps! Just a bit of hail bigger than peas. I could hear it rain and hail more, and maybe half a minute sooner, on the neighbor's steel roofed buildings across the road to the north! And for a spell it sounded like it was raining on the west half of the approximately 800'- 900' building, it was so spotty. Radar estimates show around 1" maybe 1-2 miles nw.
Lawns are beginning to get brown and I didn't mow like I usually would at the end of the week.
