A pretty significant fire burning in Albuquerque late this afternoon — apparently spread from a structure into the grove (bosque) that lines both banks of the Rio Grande. The fire has jumped the river. One can never tell watching TV news how bad something is, as each event is treated as Armageddon, but at any rate this isn’t good. Homes have been burned, many more are in danger and the wind is gusting to 30 mph.
The last measurable rain in Albuquerque was in early April.
