    I am flying out to San Francisco tonight to visit family. I have no idea how this is going to go. Up until today I was really excited; now I’m just tense about it. We dealt with smoke for weeks this summer and my lungs don’t want to go back to that.  What's happening across the state is terribly sad and frightening. 
    As you probably well know, weather on the west coast is very difficult to predict and winds can change.  Even though I could see the smoke cloud over the valley this morning, it was clear as a bell overhead.  Right now though, there is ubiquitous smoke cloud coverage over the valley and the foothills. I really hope the winds shift in your favor for your visit.  San Francisco is a such a great town and how cool that you have family there!.  NOAA is not showing smoke in the SF area on the forecast so that is hopeful.

    The latest figure on the Camp Fire:
    90,000 acres
    6700 structures lost (6453 of them were homes)
    9 deaths.


    One of California's worst fires ever and extremely unusual for November.

    Maybe these aren't the best areas to build communities in?  New Orleans is a great example.

    I agree.   Paradise and Magalia will probably be rebuilt.  I'm not at all sure that is a wise idea.

    But of course right now the emphasis should be on helping those who lost everything.

    Agree everyone’s safety is the first priority.

    The man is an utter disgrace.  He probably said this because he thinks California is populated by a bunch of commies. 

    Here's how California voted over all in 2016:

    Here's how Butte County where the Camp Fire is raging and whose people will not receive assistance from the feds/ Trump voted in 2016:
    He's turning his back on his own supporters.

    I hope first of all his comments/actions  will be overturned by more sensible, caring people in congress and, secondly, I hope some of his supports will start to see what a foolish idea it is to support him.

    I read that federal aid was approved Friday.  Hopefully everyone gets the help they need.  A fire loss is devastating.

    I hope so and if so that's great.  Still, what Trump said, especially considering the timing, that was unforgivable.

    Trump has said an awful lot of dumb shit.  But threatening to cut federal money to California.  He knows he can do this, its politics to this clown.  He doesn't need California to get re-elected.  For someone who claims not to be a politician, he seems to know where is support comes from.

    I know that I had this before and I will say it again.

    Why there isn't a small fleet of "super soaker" planes dropping water on the fires is just crazy.

    It's been a problem for years.  There should be a dozen of these planes dropping water down simultaneously.
