There's another humongous fire that exploded in size today near Santa Clarita, CA. In a matter of hours, it went from a couple hundred acres to over 8,000 acres according to Watch Duty! You can find out more here: https://app.watchduty.org/
Our worst Santa Ana winds, catastrophic in nature, may come tomorrow. Southern CA. currently is under a red flag warning. The conditions are ripe for fires and for them to spread fast because of wind gusts and very low humidity. We are also under a high wind warning for most of southern CA. beginning tomorrow at 6 AM. (northeast winds 30-40 MPH, with wind gusts 60-75 MPH.) This is expected to last until 6 PM per the NWS.

This newest fire is trending on X. You can also find out more by #HughesFire

The last link has the fire exploding to 10,000 acres but this has not been verified. :eek:

Praying for everyone's safety!

Good grief... if you're close, I hope you stay safe, Trix.

Thank you, OlNate, but we are not in that area though San Diego County has had their fair share of fires in the last week. What weather! One fire came very close to a family member this morning, and had us on edge for awhile, but nothing, NOTHING like what is happening to LA county.
Pray for southern CA., this newest one just east of the Palisades fire is crazily growing in size.

Amazingly when shit is increasingly dryer than normal do to climate conditions that shift on average over decades, shit can go wrong.

:🤷:

Hopefully Trump and MAGA do not also politicize this.

I will. Glad you're OK, frenemy.
 
Thank you.

Lol, we do have our moments, but I hope everyone understands that despite us being the "odd couple", we genuinely do care for one another. ☮️

I categorically deny those allegations. I did not have civil discussions with that woman! Now someone gimme a cigar and get the dry cleaning done... ;)
 
How much of this can people in California take?
This fire has exploded. The winds are going to make near impossible to control. Dreadful !!

Lots of evacuations occurring now.

I hope I provided enough links so others can follow if they choose to do so.
What's happening now is what you said, "Dreadful !!"
It's insane. Thirty five acres per minute and growing!!!!

Thank you for your concern.

You mean like blaming climate change?

Looks like it started next to I-5....I still see idiots throwing lit cigarettes out their windows.....

I'm pulling your MAGA card. Nate is not a good person. He is one of THEM! 😛

It's simply astounds, does it not? How self-centered are people to be this careless, irresponsible? Everyone in CA. stay safe, and be ready to go.
We are. I have everything we need in one place placed close to the garage.
 
Santa Clarita is in an even worse spot for fires, it is surrounded by dry brush mountain.
RIght next to Lake Castaic....helos can dip....and apparently the winds aren't so bad that the C-130s (yay team!) can't fly and drop fire retardant.

That is good for the planes... the copters could ocean dip for the Malibu fires though.
 
This is only going to get worse in the coming years as the number of natural disasters is increasing in general with climate change.

lmao...

Psh... you oughta know by now, there's only one of me. ;)

You're probably right about the rest, though, to be fair...hehe
 
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that a fault doesn't decide to rupture and pile on to the destruction.

The fires are bad, but sometime in this century our state is almost certainly going to have to confront an earthquake that's much, much worse.
