California in trouble?
A few days back I heard that wild fires are bound to happen in California and now, it appears to have happened. Right now I am watching cars on fire on the freeway and people stranded. I cannot say I have ever seen this before. Why was traffic not diverted from the fire? They are also saying on the news there is no water nearby. With the lack of water, aside from a historic drought, are they at risk at historic fires? I would say, it appears so.As far as my question about the diversion of traffic. The same question was just asked on the news. They say it was a fast moving fire...so, I guess that explains that.
Best of luck to Californians and be safe!

I remember driving home from Hemet to Val Vista Ca and looking up at the mountains which were a bright orange.
Also in Val Vista the smoke was so thick behind the orange groves.
I am not too familiar with the layout of California. What is there to stop these wild fires from hitting a big city...God forbid?
I wonder if they may do that now?

CC,

Johnny some parts of California they get very little moisture.
I'm sorry to hear this! I hope that Everybody is alright!
....but Pepps....I think everyone is okay on the freeway.
For Always Voting For Me. I will always do my Betsy....
Yeah! At least I tell the truth....
Thanks!....
Boy! I can't wait until the; Debate Night!...
The news anchor asked an official out in Cali if anyone got trapped. The official said he didn't think so, but he was not 100% sure.
Why! Thank You.....
I just seen it on TV. That is a strong wild fire.
Your next vote! Will get me this.
PS. The News is saying that Everybody around that fire in Kelly, is alright!
In the last day or two rain has helped out with the fires, but it was a rather tense situation here.
Good luck to to the people of California with those fires, take care.
looks like we are all having problems with forest fires...Vancouver was thick with smoke but finally the weather is cooler and hope this means rain...unfortunately California does not have fresh water like B.C.
We need a rain maker...Peps...lol...perhaps you know a few?...
Hello. Me too! I immediately think of a few bloggers we have here from California. I know Robert is in the northern part and he is tough about it....but, funnier things have happen in history.
It is nice to see you Usha. I hope all is doing just peachy in your world.
I agree. With all this talk of global warming and all the historical recording breaking weather phenomenon lately, mother nature is not anything to scoff at.
Thanks for sharing....didn't realize our neighbors from the north were suffering from drought conditions also.
I would not be surprised if Pepps post a video, here on the blog, showing her ability to make a stone bleed.
....but....lol....here in Michigan, it has been like the tropics or the rainforest. We have had beatiful weather with plenty of rain. But, the storms we have been having seem to produce fairly high winds. There has already been one tornado this year about 25 mile from my place. They are calling for a chance of storms tonight (we have very high humidity tonight) and for sure storms on Sunday. It almost seems like one extreme to the next. Hopefully like 1to has said, this is not a sign of our future to come.
Hope you are doing well too L.L. How is your wrist?
That was my first concern too. Once I seen cars burning, that is a bit out of the usual for the fires I know about around there.
Thanks Luke.
to kill you all,
maybe some lava too,
if I was you I'll hurry up
and practice my best Pompei pose.
I didn't see the news nor was I close to our local newspapers but when I got home Sunday afternoon the fire was out because the Heavenly Father unleashed a big rainstorm right over that area so the blaze, I believe, was contained. Again, I haven't read the papers.
The "no water" problem is a surprise. There are about 5 huge lakes within flying distance of the huge aircraft used to fight these fires. What could have been the problem of the aircraft not flying could have been because, again, some knucklehead was flying a drone AGAIN!
SoCal people can get pretty bold and stupid sometimes. These aircraft have to be grounded so they won't hit these drones.
