Taking a look at the fire maps, you can see that the wind has done some damage in spreading the fire. Seems its been jumping around.

The terrain is unforgiving and dangerous with no access. Apparently they’ve been airlifting in some of the firefighters and using drones to help locate new hot spots.

Hurricanes and wildfires. Even if we chart them out and think we have a handle on their direction, they have a tendency to just go off and “do their own thing.”

I know, Jill, I lived in San Diego 10 years. It’s getting to be Santa Ana time.

The models keep jumping around past three days. For a while the GDFL had it going into Louisiana. If it loses the ridge it will jump to the north. Too many variables, not enough computers.

Believe me, Dean has my attention every few hours at the longest. I’m not letting it out of my sight until I know whether to hunker down or to run. I’ve never been very good at waiting, not that I have much choice…

Rain? What’s that? 😉

On the other hand I don’t think you’d object to a dying tropical storm coming ashore at Santa Barbara with about 8-10 inches of rain.

This is what happens when you piss off DNC Chairman Howard…

(teasing…)

I hope everyone will head the emergency warnings. When they tell you get out…GET OUT!
Hurricanes aren’t my cup of disaster. I’ll stick with earthquakes, wildfires, drought and traffic.
I’m just waiting for the Locusts, now.
