It's been orange in the Big Valley all day.

Falling ash.

Here we go again.

I hope all the folks that need to use their electric cars to evacuate remembered to charge them before their “green” power was shut off.

To the folks who live out there, are these because of storms?
Or is there more of a human element involved?

There was no local news about the evacuation of Vacaville.

You basically have to decode the nixles or go to the local IOS.

Friends and relatives in surrounding counties are not getting much warning re evacuations and nothing has really been set up receive thousands of suddenly homeless people of all ages and possible health issues.

We have friends/relatives all over N. California and thanks to texts/emails we are finding out what is happening in their areas.

Way to go Cali!

Refuse to clear brush and other combustible fuels because you don’t want to disturb the natural ecology of the landscape. So your green warrior policies instead create the perfect storm to pollute the environment with tons of CO2 in the atmosphere while allowing the simultaneous destruction of natural habitats due to fire caused by natural and man made sources. Way to go, you useless vacuous, duplicitous, wannabe Marxist morons!

Mother Nature seems to have it in for Cali - especially NorCal.

Loyalton near Nevada border was lightening a couple days ago. Still blazing. Reno is very smokey today. 30,000>40,000 acres.

Kalifornicators still won’t clean up the underbrush, eh. Fools deserve it. Too bad it’s not Pelousy’s or Moonbeam’s houses going up.

If you want to live with the beauty of nature you have to know you also live with the untamed, uncaring, and danger of nature.

Building homes in natural arid and semi-arid 'burn and regeneration' areas is a choice. You can do things to mitigate potential damage around your property but that involves altering the natural surroundings.

I think California had fires of many sizes for thousands of years.

So every decade or so there’s a massive fire that wipes out hundreds of thousands of acres. It’s nature’s way.

Californians love nature, so they should love nature’s cleansing and regrowth cycle.

Trump’s Fault! Nancy Pelosi said yesterday that Donald Trump has been spotted setting fires throughout the state.

“’You can beat back nature with a stick but she always returns’. “

Similar in Florida — you are weeding and trimming all year long. ... she always returns.
