They also caused the monsoon rains to fall over the central Pacific instead of on the western side, which led to droughts and disastrous forest fires in Indonesia and Australia.
The rains of uncounted ages have washed it away; subterranean fires have changed it till no vestige remains of its former structure.
Fogs and rains and warmer suns are gradually melting the snow; the days have grown sensibly longer; and I see how I shall get through the winter without adding to my woodpile, for large fires are no longer necessary.

The rains have come, fire season is over and now I can take some time to put together an updated slideshow of how things were and how they are now.

Fires are natural occurrences, similar to hurricanes, floods, and heavy rains, although devastating, they are also important to the survival of ecosystems.
After a fire in the native pristine areas there is some erosion for the first few rains, then the erosion declines to near nothing.

Fires burned down the airless shacks and rains swept them away, and then the residents set up house under the shards of tin roofs for a month, while with no help from the outside they built the whole rotten place up again so that they could wait again for it to be wrecked again.

This is why, before and after these revolutions in various countries, the rains will be so diminished and such abundance of fire and fiery missiles shall fall from the heavens that nothing shall escape the holocaust.

Fire danger in the Western states dramatically lessened in 1989, particularly after rains in August and September when the major breakthrough occurred.
The fire ban in the affected area will likely be in effect at least until June, when early summer rains usually soak the area and reduce fire risk.
The fires burned for days causing "black rain" in the surrounding areas from the airborne soot.
