we're a day or two from surpassing a half million acres burned in Montana, not sure where Idaho is
some areas received much needed rain, but only provided a slight easing in fire behavior- it would have to rain heavily several days in a row to end this and in my 50 years of living here, I've never seen that in August
with it only being a couple of days into August and no end in sight to dry and hot conditions, it's not unconceivable that we could see full closures like we did in 88
hopefully an early snow in September ends this carnage
