In our house we have had warming on the mind. Not this kind, but this kind. My wife's family is from San Diego. Her sister has talked about it on her blog. Fortunately Lacy's family has escaped any harm, but we know people who have lost their home. It is very disturbing.
Fire is so indiscriminate. After a hurricane there are some remedies. A house can survive, at least structurally, even in the face of severe water damage. There is no such repair after a fire. So many of the 1100+ houses that have burned are completely destroyed. It is tragic to think about it.
Sometimes Lacy laments the weather in Florida. I can't blame her, but I am grateful for that humidity in a time like this. I've often said that San Diego has the best weather. That it of course when it isn't on fire.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people dealing with this mess, especially the firefighters risking their lives.

Good post Joe. I think I should leave the serious stuff to you.
Humidity that ruins your hair and leaves a constant beading of sweat on your upper-lip is hard to find the good in. But you've got a point.
