Oh wow, look at Coastal - doubled in a day. So yeah, that was a significant backlog in mapping.

Re: 2018 is the worst fire season on record!
I take issue with the fact that the qualifier for "worst fire season" is based on total hectares burned.
I believe a more accurate measurement would be the impact to humans, IE most people evacuate and or most structures lost.
having lived through a lot of the human impact last year and previous years, I don't think this year is so bad from that point of view.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
