No Respite Post-Christmas From Wild Weather

Two, fast-moving (with winds over 100 mph) wildfires devastated North Colorado, USA (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/30/colorado-wildfires-evacuations-latest). The fires were located near the towns of Superior and Louisville. The blazes destroyed almost 600 homes and forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people. The wildfires were especially dangerous because the high winds brought down powerlines. This made communication difficult. It now seems that we have wild weather all the year round?
