Yeah, that's part of it.

So over the last 1,200 years, the driest 25 years were the last 25 years.

So this is a super drought.

And in the midst of this super drought, there are some years where it's crazy floods and it's 20 feet of snow and all this runoff and crazy rains.

And then the undergrowth, yeah, it just goes because it's been parched.

It grows like crazy.

And you're exactly right.

So it's in the midst, it's extreme weather events.

And that's what we're finding more and more in the climate stuff is like,

It's the extremity of the floods and the extremity of the drought.

It used to be a lot more even keel.

Now it's a lot more like this.

Thousand year events are happening every hundred years.

Hundred year events are happening every 10 years.

10-year events are happening every year, and that's what's causing this.

It's easy to talk about, there's a talking point on the political right that has to do with forest management, and there is definitely a good point there that you have to do healthy logging, you have to allow certain burns, you have to clear underbrush, and we mismanaged forests for a long time.

It was like, let's put out every fire that's anywhere near a forest,

and not cut down any trees and leave everything exactly the same.

And then you create kind of a powder cake.

There is a point there, but that's not the main culprit.
