    This is at Glacier Point. The split rock in the foreground is the key to identifying the location.

    It would, indeed! However, I'd settle for an inch or two of gentle rain at this stage of the game.

    If we do have El Niño heavy rains his year I fear the damage from erosion on the deforested slopes will be greater and more catastrophic than from the fires.
