Good morning guys. Just to add an update from the north county side, we’re hearing that Acton is flaring up again, and I see big thick plumes coming off the mountains around the Littlerock, Mt. Emma, Juniper Hills areas. It looks to be a significant front at this time. The smoke is bad. The wind is confused out here. It varies between standstill and gusts of 15 mph, from the north or southwest or west or whatever it happens to be at the time. The brown sepia note has begun in earnest.. it flared up about half an hour ago.
The Antelope Valley has been asked to curtail/conserve electricity. I do know there’s a major substation over off Angeles Forest near the 14 junction (where it opens out into the desert), but I have heard little about it as relates to the fire.
There’s a new fire in Kern county near Lake Isabella. It’s called the Wofford Complex b/c of the several starts, as far as I can tell.
Sorry about the know-it-alls on the thread. The problem seems to get worse and worse as time goes on. My advice is to ignore, and let them try to gain the rhythm of the conversation on a day like this. With no responses to the caustic stuff they’ll either join in a constructive way or give up trying. (she said...hopefully)
If any of you are reading this and also habit the hurricane threads, if there’s one started about Hurricane Jimena (Pacific!) please ping me. Believe it or not, it’s set to hit Baja and might actually sent monsoonal moisture up to the L.A. basin in a few days. It would be miracle-like to have moisture thrown on this conflagration!
Thanks for the update.
It’s only gonna get worse this PM with the Santa Ana’s picking up.
Stay safe.
Kelly
I read of the Wofford complex fires. North of the station fire?

Hi, is your crew alright?

It is fairly common for the edge of the summer sub-tropical weather to touch into SoCal, but rare for it to bring significant rainfall.
Just several days of muggy, humid weather like we have been having, only moreso.
