Colorado has never seen this kind of drought condition in all of its recorded history. While we got ~2" of precip out of last weeks storm, the median snow pack is only 26% of median.

That means the larger plants and trees are still suffering from water loss. The humidity has taken a nose dive.

So, please people be extremely careful with anything that can cause a wildfire.

#WatchDuty #SedonaHillsFire this one is very close to me. And I'm now going through checklists and staging stuff just in case.

My in-laws live at Canyon Lake and we’ve been trying to convince them to pack a bag for the last 30 minutes.

I just got my first Watch Duty fire alert of the year, I think.

#WatchDuty #FireSeason #California

Welllllllll
There goes my first #WatchDuty notification of 2026

Why I’m getting alerted to something in Antioch I am not quite sure; but it’s good to resolve the cognitive dissonance of “what the hell is that sound?” before it becomes important

Apparently Ring is also partnering with Watch Duty in addition to Flock.

#WatchDuty essentially runs on Slack behind the scenes. I'm curious to see if they respond to the owner being a fascist asshole.

Everybody has standards as long as it doesn't cause inconvenience. We'll see what happens.
