This is one of those rare human interest stories to appear in this blog, but it is of interest for many reasons, outlined as we go along. The 2023 Burning Man festival was planned to begin at the end of August and end on September 4th. That was the plan anyway. Then a little storm happened that threatened to rain on everyone’s parade.

In looking back, the story gets a little muddy, though… Continue reading “The dousing of Burning Man”

The 2023 Maui wildfires

From early August 2023 the islands of Hawaii have been experiencing wildfires, particularly on the island of Maui. The fires on Maui have been described as the worst wildfires in terms of casualties since 1918, with the fire in Cloquet, Minnesota having held the record up till now. Thus far over 100 people have been documented as having died in the fires with over 1300 missing. Figures vary, but the ferocity of the fires was contributed to by high winds, sometimes gusting to 60 mph, coming from hurricane Dora located far to the south of the islands.
