I lived there in 1988. The “Lake “ was so shallow in summer you could walk across it. I do remember one road in and out of there back then

Used to be shallow but always held water year round. Now it's a dead body of water that dries up completely. Fish are long gone.

I moved to Lake Elizabeth in 2006 the golf course was already so beautiful for an evening stroll and the lake had water, but fast forward 2017 it was so sad to see the lake all dried up. I pray my old neighbors were out of harms way. ❤

Thing is about fires they come not randomly if a forest has produced so much fire fuel the fire naturally helps. It’s a system if the Forest has become to dense the Fire comes through and restarts the process.

@wannabetowasabe 4 жыл бұрын

The climate, vegetation, topography, soils and a couple others make this a fire dependent ecosystem. It has burned periodically for thousands of years. I'm well educated and experienced with the fire ecology of western forests, but not as familiar with southern California chaparral fire ecology, other than to be assigned to fires there. The green is good, black is bad perspective has done a lot of damage over the past 100-150 years. The problems in southern California are there are more fires and more burning in intense fire conditions than was probably natural. The latter because of human caused fires that burn during the most intense fire weather conditions, such as the Santa Ana wind events. There's been some research relative to changes in vegetation species as a result, but that is the extent of my knowledge of it. We suppressed all fire for about 80-100 years and are now paying the price for interrupting the natural role of fire in ecosystems. The higher elevation forests (5,000 to 6,000 feet and above) are where my time and education as a graduate forester (BS degree) occurred.

@antonbruce1241 4 жыл бұрын

@@wannabetowasabe Excellent analysis.I loved it. One must add, however, not only the ecology but the topology as well. See, most people thin southern California is flat - it is hardly flat. There are many mountain ranges (mostly from seismic forces over the last million+ years), and some of these ranges are quite high and rather steep - including the range where this fire is currently burning - making them mostly natural chimneys which will funnel large flames into very bad topography from a fire fighting point of view. Add to that the type of weather we get here in summertime - very hot (90 to 100+ F), dry conditions (humidity less than 20%) and high winds. Think of adding a match to a pile of kindling as to what those condition can do. As to this fire, it is currently burning in an area which has not burned in at least 65 years, so with the growth over the last few years - we have had some periods of heavy rains over the last few years - and the brush (and in this case, trees as well), becomes that kindling I mentioned just previously. And no, my degree is not in forestry, but in I.T. But you live here long enough (50+ years in my case), and you learn to study things. I'm also pretty good with seismic geology as well.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." Revelation 1-22, Isaiah-Malachi.....2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
