In this episode of "Let's Talk About Water," California is burning. And Oregon. And Washington State. And not only are mega wildfires in the U.S. threatening – and sometimes taking -- lives and property there, they're pumping smoke and fallout high into the atmosphere that has spread to Canada and even entered European air space. Host Jay Famiglietti switches gears this week to talk about the absence of water in his onetime stomping grounds of California. Jay speaks to an old friend who resides in his fire-threatened former hometown of Sierra Madre, a leading climatologist named Bill Patzer; University of California wildfire expert Crystal Kolden and Hayley Smith, a reporter with the Los Angeles Times, who’s living on the edge of the biggest story of her life -- the infamous Bobcat Fire -- as it blazes in the mountains overlooking L.A.
