Just a shout out to my local meteorology expert, Prof Cliff Mass at the UW here in Seattle. He covered this yesterday as well http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-yarnell-hill-fire-meteorological.html
Maybe one day we’ll realize that it’s all one big solar powered system, that everything we see, hear, feel, smell, touch, is all connected. If the weather was a factor in the intensity and intractability of the fire — of any fire — watching it through a meteorologist’s eyes should be required.
