the air felt like there were hundreds of fireplaces going on outside, all the smoke from the latest nor cali fire carried over here... it's beyond tragic, -I thought now that it's nov the major worries are over, -not so fast... was this latest fire started by yet another person ?? it's all so tiresome, every year lately it seems these fires are taking place...the nature all over cali is so dry, no rain in sight... these rapid moving fires are like a large quake that can occur any moment, -very important to have the emergency bag ready and the ones with pets, -their bag ready as well... |

Absolutely tragic. But, all of this has caused communities to raise their voices. On our neighborhood message board residents are asking for a town hall meeting to go over neighborhood evacuation plans. Last time there was a fire, people evacuated tried to use designated back fire roads only to find them padlocked and chained! Residents got bolt cutters, rammed them with cars, or tried to turn around to find another route...back toward the fire. Apparently, our association has not yet fixed this issue... And, after these fires, neighbors will now be holding them accountable and demanding action now, before people die here. |

does your daughter still live in the Santa Cruz area ?? the air is still so smoky here...there's an eerie glow on the horizon... just a few days ago I was marveling how beautiful it was, blue skies, nice temps, the visibility seemed to go on forever, these horrid fires plagued parts of Europe this past summer as well... lots of casualties... I was discussing it all with my brother in Finland this morning, they are following these cali fires as well... he said that recently when there were massive wildfires in Russia the smoke was so thick it all carried over to Finland... stores here in SF are running out of the masks, another thing to put on the " to buy list " it's eerie seeing people walk around with masks covering their mouths and noses... you often see it in areas of China when the pollution gets to be so bad... I sure hope there would be rain on the horizon ?? |

Was checking the weather, but no rain in the forcast (at least for us down here). My daughter still lives with her family in the Santa Cruz mountains, yes. We visited with her this summer-- still beautiful up there among the redwoods. Yesterday, the skies were clear here with the strong winds blowing from east to west. I didn't even realize there was a big fire to our southwest--wind blowing the smoke horizontal out over the ocean. Today, it's all different. The east wind let up, and the wind is coming out of the west now--calmer, better for fire fighters, but sending the plume over us now (cough, wheeze). Orange sun and a brown-grey blanket across the sky. They are trying to make the best of of the good wind while they have it, because tomorrow it's supposed to turn around again and rage from the east again. |

Death toll rises to 23 in California's Camp Fire By Nicole Chavez, Dakin Andone and Steve Almasy, CNN Updated 10:43 PM ET, Sat November 10, 2018 CNN)The death toll in the Camp Fire in Northern California has risen to 23 with the discovery Saturday of 14 more sets of remains, Butte County Sheriff and Coroner Kory Honea told reporters. Honea said 10 of the victims were recovered from the fire-ravaged town of Paradise. He said seven people were found in homes, and three were outside. Of the remaining four, two were in cars and two were in houses in an area known as Concow. Saturday brought a break in the fierce winds that have whipped the three major wildfires in California that have destroyed a record number of buildings and displaced more than 300,000 people. But officials know the gusts will be back Sunday and most evacuation orders remain in place. "Mother Nature has given us a short reprieve ... but we know tomorrow Mother Nature's gonna turn her fan back on and the winds are going to start blowing," Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen told reporters. He said he cautioned his firefighters and the public not to be lulled by the better weather Saturday. ... (more at link plus video) |

I can confirm the winds have come back this morning, at least here in Tehachapi (about 70mi ne of Woolsey fire). I'd say they're whipping up around 40mph out of the east (Santa Anas direction) so far (guestimate). I was checking, there's still a lot of live flame down there in the Malibu hills. This is likely to reignite it all. if there is any good news, it's that the wind will at least push all this smoke back out to sea. |

per twitter reports, the fire is currently encroaching on Pepperdine University with students sheltering in the Library. Fire is on campus grounds, but has not reached buildings, to my understanding. |

I understand - up here in the PNW we have had the smoke from fires that have caused serious problems. My prayers and heart go out to all those - 2-legged, 4 legged, finned, feathered - all those who are affected. |
