ChilliJonI hate the Vikings!

It’s 74 degrees out. The sky is orange. And it looks like it’s snowing.

Fire chief in Calistoga today. “We’ve got 100,000 Plus acres of active fires. Wind gusts forecasted. No humidity. We can’t do anything to stop this. I don’t know what to tell you. Only that a lot of people might not have homes by tomorrow morning”

Air quality was just changed to “Hazardous” 30 minutes ago. Wind shift and 3,600 structures burned will do that.

Regarding the number of fires. When this started Sunday night it was so dry the initial inferno whipped up so hard and fast it created its own weather system. It sucked in so much oxygen it drove winds to 70mph. Those winds carried embers all over the valley. And that was that.
