Gusts up to 70 mph Wednesday are forecast for the Bay Area in "a potentially damaging and prolonged wind storm," the National Weather Service.
The high-wind warning issued by the weather agency says the strongest winds will be in the hills above 1,000 feet; sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph with frequent gusts over 50 mph are expected through most of the Bay Area. The warning is in effect from 6 a.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.
Even fiercer winds are expected in Southern California, with northeast gusts to 80 mph in the mountain passes. Weather service forecasters are calling it a possible 5- to 10-year Santa Ana wind event in the Los Angeles area, the Associated Press reported.

I think you are missing something.
I think you are missing something.
I'm so glad we don't live in Santa Clarita any longer; we were just inside the Newhall Pass, where the Santa Anas build up to squeeze through. We'd get no benefit like the San Fernando Valley (they'd get balmy 80 degree days and light breezes during Santa Anas) - all we'd get on the "wrong side" was raw, cold windy blows.
My saying was "The wind doesn't blow here - it sucks".
Unfortunately, I fear the fire bugs will be aroused.
Anything to blow the overcast away. WE had 99 MPH winds on New Years eve a few years ago that was coupled with a very high tide and Bender Bay breached the dikes and flooded 101 north of here. The power lines went down for hours and hours and my world ended as we knew it. (Didn’t even have a lap top at the time) Dikes, not to be confused with Dykes...
During Santana winds, most ignition sources are due to downed power lines, caused by falling trees, branches, power outages, etc.
But it’s nothing like the routine power outages which occur back east and the mid-west. In fact, living in S.CA, we’ve personally only had maybe 2 or 3 power outages in the past tens years or so.
Cool. I’ll plan on spending all Thursday picking plum tree leaves out of my fishpond.
I don’t think you know how the crab market works.
I don’t think you know how the crab market works.Sure I do, it's called a conspiracy or collusion.
Fishermen(supply) and processors(demand) reaching a strike price for a good seems to me to be the very essence of a free market system in action.Sounds good except Fishermen(supply) didn't know what processors(demand) was/is untill the price was agreed to...not only that, processors(demand) had/has no idea what the Fishermen(supply) is going to be...
Sorry, supply and demand doesn't determine price in the crab market...it's a lie.
Since the price was determined before the boats left the harbor it sounds like the next time I see crab on my menu the words "market price" won't be there...The price was determined before the fishing boat's motors started.
So the crab should be caught and sold to highest bidder at the dock?
No self respecting fag would go down..........that road................
OK, so we’re totally socked in with fog right now... where’s the wind?
Update.. It finally kicked in here early Wednesday afternoon,, been blowing on and off ever since.. already harvested one crop of leaves from the pool.. supposed to warm nicely this afternoon. We’ll see.. some folks without power across bay area as crews work feverishly to restore service. no glitches here.. whew.
