The U.S. Forest Service calls this the driest year in 117 years.

Now, as the New Mexico monsoon season begins, flooding, debris flows, and mud slides are threatening communities below the burn watersheds.

The largest fire in New Mexico's history, the Las Conchas fire, still burning and after almost a month is only 80 percent contained.

I again urge you to lend immediate attention to the efforts proposed by the BAER Teams in New Mexico.
