Most of today's wildfire potential is clustered in Republican counties. And, according to the National Interagency Coordination Center that trend will continue through July and into August or just in time for the Sturgis Rally. Yes, that means the Black Hills are tinder dry as an insect called the Ips engraver beetle is culling trees that are highly stressed by drought conditions. According to Kurt Allen, an entomologist for the US Forest Service in Region 2 impacts from the Ips beetle typically only last for two or three years but pine trees that are completely brown or red are dead and the beetle has moved on. The Forest Service generally allows the beetle to run its course and doesn't treat affected stands. Bark beetles shape water supplies throughout the Mountain West.
Recall that last year the Sturgis Rally in occupied South Dakota spread the Trump Virus all over Republican counties in the upper Midwest. It's also where meth is distributed by Trump loving motorcycle clubs.
