Extreme droughts in southern France and western Canada (this one I think is linked to the drought that is plaguing the Northern Plains right how) are causing tinder-dry conditions which are flaring into large and numerous wildfires in those regions.\u00a0 Here are two stories about the impacts of those fires.<\/p>\n

AgWeb<\/em> noted that more than 375 fires in British Columbia have burned down millions of board-feet of timber and caused a number of sawmills to close due to the approaching fires in their story here<\/a>. So far it has not had a large impact on supplies but that is expected to become more of an issue as the fires continue to threaten timber harvest and processing plants.<\/p>\n

Time magazine noted here<\/a> that wildfires in southeastern France have forced the evacuation of at least 10,000 people during the height of the tourist season there.\u00a0 CNN has a related story with some good pictures and an explanation of the weather set-up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
