Raindrops
These raindrops won't help stop the wildfires raging in Southern California. 250,000 people in Ventura, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties have been evacuated. The largest fire, in Ventura, has burned an area larger than Detroit, with five percent containment. New fires erupted on Thursday under Santa Ana winds of 60 mph. High wind gusts and low humidity are predicted to continue, and there is no rain in the 10 day forecast. The fires may well get worse before firefighters are able to make significant progress. These conditions are very unusual for December, and the fires emphasize the real impact of climate change.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
