Lots of discussion about whether using PSPS to prevent wildfires is good. Today is the anniversary of 9 men being burned to death fighting a wildfire in San Diego's back country in conditions almost identical to today's weather. Sort of helps put the potential lack of AC in perspective.

It's the 11-year anniversary of this creation! I made up the Mothra La Niña to combat the media-invented Godzilla El Niño. I'll have to revive this to combat the media-invented Super El Niño this year! Maybe there will be a Ludicrous Speed El Niño in another 11 years?
