Ty's Take
The rain question hanging over Los Alamos right now isn't really about whether it's still falling, though clearly folks around here are watching the sky like they always do come monsoon season. It's about what happens next when the storms dry up and fire season settles in hard, the way it always does on the plateau. With the burn scars from Cerro Grande and Las Conchas still shaping how we think about wind and dry grass, every conversation about water feeds into something deeper, about what keeps this town safe when the fuel loads are high and the Jemez winds start to pick up. So yeah, we're tracking the moisture. We have to.
