It's cottonwood seeds... they blow around like snow this time of year. Dude is just trying to keep from picking the seedlings from his grass
MisterD90
Remember last time this sort of thing was posted and the fire department in the area had to post FFS stop starting fires
MetalElephant
I legit wonder if firefighters can use this vid to learn more about how wild fires spread. Could be helpful on some level.

You can also kill the dandelion seed puffs this way to prevent spread, but you have to light each one at a time.

Seriously I’ve had to evacuate a couple times in the last couple years. Fire season is the worst

You should visit another state where many have open fire pits in their backyards. Some are forests with the ground covered in leaves.

Fire season after a drought that nobody is talking about.

Fuck man. Talk about foreshadowing

As a Kentuckian without a fire season, a run away fire makes me uncomfortable.

I really thought spiders.

Smaller controlled fires prevent larger uncontrollable fires

My neighbor left me a note that my fire was going to cause cancer to her and her pets and me.
Should've told Karen to quit blowing smoke up her own ass
ImNotTaylorSwift
This is why I start small fires in my kitchen when I'm cooking. It protects me from big fires. (I'm kidding, I know controlled burns work.)
stinkingyeti
As an aussie this fucking terrifies me.
QuindecimT
It’s alright. The titan in the Statue of Liberty, hurricane or something stranger will kill off humans before the end of the year.

I guess you didn't hear. Cali Wildfires was signed on to do at least nine more seasons.
No joke, right after I posted that, the hillside next to where I work caught fire... it's out now tho
shakefu
Started last night for me.

I'm not even sure fire season ends anymore in California.

Nah, gotta wait for August/September for really bad fire season.
thecrazydruid
maybe but californian wild fires are a yearly event i just hope its not up to this years standard of shit we dont need
Prostatus
already happening unfortunately
sillypantsmcgee
Wild fires and hurricanes are definitely up next. Then maybe earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and wave "two"
Flyer770
New Orleans is already getting the storm Cristobal.
Yeah exactly! It's only day 7 of the season! Its been raining so much here in Florida
BenderRodriguz1010
Excuse me, it's wildfirecanes and quakenados vs coronacanos
That should put us up to November when I guess riots are up again.
This though, accurate lol
miramirameow
You know I bitched at my aunt and uncle who live in socal last November about setting up water collection barrels for rain, & they found 1/2
binicorn
Why did you bitch at them? Should they not do that? And why? Thanks in advance for the information.
I was trying to motivate them to set them up so they have water stored in barrels ahead of fire season
Thank you
CJFoxx11
Why are you mad they set up rain barrels?
They didn't set them up, I was hoping they would since their neighborhood is full of eucalyptus and these small super flammable trees
Oooooh.....ABOUT setting them up. ?♀️
I wanted them to set them up, they got a ton of rain& would've been set for this fire season but they didn't want to.
Someone giving away 20 barrels for free on Craigslist, but then never set them up after all that rain they got this year 2/2
LegendaryGrumpyCat
I think it is illegal to store rainwater anyways. I live in san bernardino area of so cal.
The big illegal water thing is collecting grey water.That's what my grandma used to do, but because shes an immigrant and she wastes nothing
khold90
It's not illegal to collect and store, the legal issue comes from the container and location of container.
Ah looks like it was changed in 2012. Used to be illegal, now is ok. Good to know ty!

LordHosk
Cottonwood seeds it covers EVERYTHING, just hope for a big rain the day the trees start shedding so it drops at the tree instead of spreads.
ConstantReader
We had to clean out our air conditioner weekly thanks to the neighbor's trees.
Our neighborhood signed a petition asking the 2 people who have em to cut them down, both said "you cant tell me what to do on my property"
America!
We even offered to split the cost of getting them cut down and replanting a new tree.
