In reply to cookie jill. We can hope that the winds don't kick in and belie that point. I just updated. The 747 and Mars Hawaii were used to protect Mount Wilson yesterday.

Quote of the Day - "This was like the Jabba the Hut fire," said Bill Patzert, a climatologist for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. "It's menacing and big, but it definitely can't move that fast." .-= last blog ..Thank you, Sheila =-.

I remember sleeping the bath tub surrounded by ice when I lived in San Diego because there was no way of installing a window air conditioner when the windows slide to the side.

Later I used ice bags in a plastic tub with a fan blowing over it.

“You don’t need air conditioning in San Diego – the average temperature is 72°.”

No one said anything about those damn winds.

You had to go and mention the "Devil Winds" didn't ya. If they pick up, that corridor along the 210 is like a wind tunnel. Typical Santa Ana gusts can get up to 70mph at times. I thought for sure the whole house would pick up and land in Kansas somewhere during many of those winds. At least up in Santa Bar-B-Que the gusts aren't quite so bad, although we have the "sundowners" that blow down the mountains right into town. .-= last blog ..Thank you, Sheila =-.
