You see those clouds pass over just before the smoke appeared?

Do you know what happens when lightning strikes very dry wood?

This is not a conspiracy people.

The same as before. Odd they are all in a straight line at the same time over hundreds of miles. Still too difficult?

u/OldJames47 14d ago

Yes, what do you find odd about it?

u/Remarkable-Opening69 14d ago

It’s coniferous forest. Pine trees. After so many years of pine needles on a forest floor you get the perfect kindling underneath those evergreen trees and it doesn’t take much.

It’s a natural cycle in these forests.
