This year is full of strange weather. Rain in the deserts, droughts in lush areas, large forest fires and tornados where none had been seen before. Many think it is the gods getting back at some group of people who wronged them, though some think it might be a magical storm passing through. What ever the case, many die or go hungry or at the very least lose their homes and belongings.
