It all depends on the winds, and there is no way of knowing what they’ll do.

One of the problem with the “direction” is that the weather guys imply “from” when reporting wind direction, no “to”. A West wind is from the West towards LA. The arrow points into the wind on a weather vane.

In some ways ash is worse that viruses, because it can cause a chemical burn in your lungs. Glad to hear you are a committed mask wearer.

I’ve been concerned about the critters, because it looks like the small animal shelter is close to the evacuation zone on the map.

The winds have changed direction all throughout the day….first going to the “East”…then to the “West” (we don’t really use directionals here as our beaches face South and everyone gets really confused about that…we use either toward the beach…toward the mountains…toward San Francisco or toward Los Angeles.)

Hot spots are being stocked to life everywhere. Downtown feels eerie with an orange glow and “snow” falling in large chunks.

3M makes a GREAT face mask…I don’t care if I look like a hospital reject when wearing it….ash is NOT to breath in.

since this is a day of National Prayer, I deeply believe that through the prayers of many we have the power to command the winds, fire to go back where it came from. This prayer is for those who believe in Jesus Christ and that with faith we can move the m0untain into the ocean. We pray for things that are not as though they are. Pray thanking for favor to have the land back. God says ask and you shall receive pray and command the fires and wind return to where they have come , retreat and believe with unseen faith from the heart, not the head

Shared misery is a strong bond.

California is going to have a tough Summer, and it’s just starting.

The wildfires in CA have made the news here in Aus. We have a LOT of sympathy for anyone in fire areas.

I hope everyone stays safe. Good luck all!
