  • Firestorm 2020

    Not that other states don't have problems...

    California is not only baking, she's burning from north to south. The fires here in SoCal are largely due to lightning and sparks etc...one is DEFINITELY arson. The smoke from most of those fires are rolling out to the ocean and apparently we are right in the migration path. I can't see the mountains for all the smoke. Because we're in the height of our summer temps, can't shut off the swamp cooler to avoid the smoke...

    Pics later...I'm hiding out at home.

      Does California get wildfires every summer? I hope they caught the arsonist.
      If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

          It is part of California's nature to have those fires especially here in the south. Due to mismanagement, however, the fires are frequently out of control. I understand that the Forest Service are finally being allowed to do controlled fires.

          Yes they caught the one arsonist. Arson is frequently the cause usually because they ignore the rules about campfires.

          This year, because of rains causing new growth and then no rains later making the bush dry...and then the heat wave and monsoon. Getting zapped by lightning didn't help matters and caused a great many of the fires this year.

                And that is SMOKE! No clouds today but it's been hazy all day.

                  I was born and raised in Orange County and I remember the weather patterns quite well.

                  Funny, I picked this one up from AP. Dumbbell Newsom apparently is too stupid to know this sort of thing happens periodically in California and has nothing to do with Climate Change.

                  California Gov. Gavin Newsom says wildfires raging in his state should give pause to anyone who denies climate change.

                  Newsom spoke at the virtual Democratic National Convention on Thursday from a forest near California’s Central Coast after visiting a nearby Red Cross evacuation center.

                  More than two dozen major wildfires were blazing across California, blanketing cities and towns in smoke and putting tens of thousands of people under evacuation orders.

                  Newsom recorded the video after choosing to scrap the prerecorded video he originally recorded.

                  “I confess this is not where I expected to be speaking here tonight,” he said in a video recorded on a cellphone.

                  He added, “If you are in denial about climate change, come to California.”

                  Newsom criticized President Donald Trump for working to roll back vehicle emission standards meant to curb climate change and for threatening to withhold funding from California.

                    By the grace of.God, I do have a portable AC unit. I dislike AC (dries one out in this already dry climate,and expensive to boot) but during our monsoonal season which usually is Aug - Sep it helps at night.

                        Those are heading my way - into the Gulf of Mexico, but who knows... they could veer NE or be strong enough to eventually reach New England.
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            I wonder if, in the future, it will be a common phrase, when something really tragic happens, "boy, that's so 20/20".

                            And, when future generations say "hindsight is always 20/20", will they think of this year?

                              No. They'll have genetically engineered or technologically augment (or both) eyes by then. 20/20 vision will be looked at as being half blind with people typically seeing at 200' what someone with 20/20 would -- and in low light conditions.

                              That or we'll all be sitting around campfires eating today's kill in some post-apocalyptic nightmare.


                              In the latter case people might even say things like "Man, those people back in 2020 sure had it great."

                              I'm always still in trouble again
