"Apocalypse California." This is why you keep your tank near full

my daughter is in santa monica for a wedding. the pics she sent of the smoke are incredible.

ironically, when we were there 25 yeats ago or so, it was the same scene.

 

Up north the Butte Fire is raging as well .

My car was covered in ash today and we are 150 miles away.

My thoughts are with the folks in Paradise as 80% of that town went away in a very short period of time.

 

It's on the evening news up here. Incredible and terrible. Pray for some rain, soon.

 

I’m just hoping the winds die down.

Last night it was howling out of the north to the point it was shaking the panes of the window.

Rain would be nice though.

 

WX forecast predicts wind events for the next 4 days........ been in SoCal for 40 years, worst Ive seen it....

 

The wife has a cousin whose a cop for Santa Rosa and was one of the first responders last year when those fires ravaged Santa Rosa.

He was in Nightline for his experiences that night, and the most memorable one he shared with me was saving an elderly woman from her home as it was on fire.

A night he’ll never forget.

As for the number that are arson, not sure but I know it wouldn’t take much as the woods are dry and the low humidity isn’t helping.

 

If you’re talking about down south, there was someone they caught doing that earlier this year.

Up here, I haven’t heard of a sole source.

It boggles my mind as to the why for doing that senseless act.

 

Wow. I was just in LA last week. Glad I missed this and hoping my people are ok...

 

I guess they must have been small, but the Fourth of July up here is a time where some counties still allow the lighting of fire works.

Those areas (usually around lake Berryessa) have a regrettable Fire and the terrain is not navigable for fire fighters, so they work on containing a larger area.

Wish the pyros would find another way to feed their needs.

 

See! The bicycle lane is free

Some have been linked to titanium(IRRC) golf clubs. Doesn't take much after an extended drought.

It is horrible for those in the aera of affect, but these lands evolved around these cyclical fires, and they are an important part of the ecology for many species. It is actual the same in NJ. They've just been saturated with rains lately.

 

Interesting. Any links you could share on this?
