Ill wind and dry weather- Look at the maps, 101 and canyon roads closed
Places are burned. Homes are smoke damaged or gone. People are mostly staying with friends. Roads and freeways closed for a windy day and work to contain the fires.
You can see for yourself and should see how to be safe from your phone to your TV.
Weather Men, Women and scientists are working in front and behind the scenes to make people safe and manage resources.
Thank you to the fire men and women, the captains, management, transportation workers, aviators, satellites, and researchers at local and international agencies and Universities who concern themselves with our urban rural safety and the Earth Forces that are regular and irregular that are leading to a new norm in our cities, forests, and way of living.
Take a look of these resources. Put an app on your phone. Stay safe, help others, and get a mask. It's going to be a windy, aerosol filled day and a hepa filter, a sense of humor, compassion for others and access to the web may make all the difference. Find out how to stay safe, healthy, and happy because there will be necessary traffic delays for greater safety.
Drink water, care for others, volunteer, we're better off by not going this alone. Be safe and sensitive to others as we are all stressed right now by human and weather/climate factors, our flood plain's structure, the fires and the air quality.
