Us out here are flaming again. I think Daytona Jim just got an evac notice (AGAIN!) and there is one potentially headed towards me now.
Mandatory evactions all over East Napa county & up by Lake Berryessa.
This one (yesterday am) threatening D. Jim:

This one TOO close to me:

Thanks for the prayers!
 
Wouldn’t a good rainstorm help better???

Thunder storms just cause more fires... a good long rain with no lightning is what everyone needs. This, at camp, was thunderstorm started in 2018. Smoldered for about 2 days before the wind brought it to life and the townsite was evacuated.. and we were supposed to leave..

Yeah these 105*+ days, low humidity, aren't helping

I wonder how many are arson, are accidental or just mother-nature too ?

PG&E (huge settlements) or arson, was responsible for a shitload last time

stay safe

This heat is really killing us out there. We’re probably pussies in the OC but it was 106* today. The fires down this way are mostly above LA. We need prayers across the state. Stay safe and away from them. Like Budnicks says - no heroes needed
 
Stay safe guys.....don't try to be a hero unnecessarily. :thumbsup:
My neighbor Tom across the street is a big wig at Cal-Fire
younger guy in his 40's, a good hard worker, good father
he runs stuff associated with the tankers/planes spotters etc.
reports out of San Jose main office, then sent where-ever
he commutes near 200 miles each way ever 4 days,
he's usually on
IIRC like 4 X 24hrs always on call down there & 3 days off,
in a rotation
often 7 days a week, for how ever long, in fire season,
he's on sight
he just got back from a vacation, cut short, with his wife & kids
& he was off for the fires, immediately, for who knows how long again

people like him are saints, true heroes

A rainstorm started the 3 around me...And it dumped .4" in 2-3 hours.
Haven't seen one like it around since 2002.
In 1973-4? there was a huge one that lit up the whole valley and way beyond all night- no fires though, imagine that...

I worked a bit late tonight prepping for evacuees and took the following pictures on the way home. The 2 closest ones are less than 20 miles from me. That sounds like a nice cushion but really isn't here. The winds will blow 20-50+ (about 70+ mph Saturday night at my house) and the fires will speed up and spread fast accordingly.
The Carr fire went from 5k to 10k to 30-50k acres in just a few hours so best be READY to go NOW if one has to.
We are and I do not feel heroic.
Ash is settling on the Charger IN the garage but I will blow it off on the way out of Dodge.
There are 4 fires in the area, Wes-@ 30-35 miles away, NE-@ 25, E - @20 & SE - 17-20 miles as the crow flies & fires burn :eek:.
The winds seem very favorable for Jim & I at this point, blowing more or less away.
 
Sorry, poor service & having loading issues w/ pics.
Will try again without the blathering verbage.
They will (hoping) be the West, NE, E & S.

The middle pic is 2 fires.
I have already accepted the fact that I will be changing out pre/filters on the air handlers often for the next month.:thumbsup:
The wind WILL shift it always does.
I used to really like the smell of campfires.
Not so much anymore.
 
Praying like crazy for you folks over there B!
Good Lord, it seems like California burns to the ground every year anymore....:eek::(
