not what anybody wants to hear but this isn't just going to happen to S. California but pretty much the whole state! NWS images at the link. The fire weather in southern California for Tuesday night through Thursday, October 29-31, is predicted to be the most severe so far this year. Wind gusts of 50 to 70 mph are possible in the mountains and foothills and relative humidity could drop into the single digits. In areas of northern California a Red Flag Warning will be in effect from 8 a.m. PDT Tuesday until 4 p.m. PDT Wednesday. The wind is expected to be out of the north or northeast at 15 to 35 mph with gusts of 35 to 60 mph, locally higher in canyons and exposed ridges. (Red Flag Warnings can be modified throughout the day as NWS offices around the country update and revise their weather forecasts.) |

Thanks...yeah, the RV is ready to go for yet another power shutdown sometime after midnight. Kern county has prestaged fire crews called up for the event, as well. We have two crews out--one to the getty fire, and one for the Kincade fire to help other counties out (Mutual Aid). |
