1000 lightning strikes?

[RedStateRocker]

Nope.

7000; 350 resulting fires.

and that was for Sunday.

It was amazing, I sat out on the back porch under an umbrella and they went on for hours.

[American in Israel]

Is this because lightning is suddenly a new thing Gruesome?

Because fires this size NEVER happened when the State was Republican.

[avital2]

actually 11000 lightning strikes according to article

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks. I had forgot about this reality:

“It is a good thing the ham (amateur) radio network is up and running.....”

“Oh yeah, Governor Greaseball shut that volunteer group down.”

The smoke may just kill the virus

Thanks for posting this about: Police Scanner + Pro.

Not just for fires but for BLM unplanned events.

Scan before you go and as you are about to enter any new area.

The air quality in southern Arizona has been poor since Monday. I wonder if it is from CA fires.
Prayers up for everyone in the path of these fires.

[Grampa Dave]

My nephew works for CALFIRE and is on the lines as we speak.

Prayers up for him and his peers.

My wife’s best California friend has this incredible granddaughter. She is an EMT,local fire fighter and Cal Fire fighter, like your nephew. She had been in S. California taking care of illegals with Covid in hospitals.

She is on her way to rejoin her Cal fire fighting crew.

We agree, but I hate the “California will be judged” garbage usually tossed this direction. Let he who is without sin throw the first stone. Sin is sin, and there aren’t different levels of it, even though many act like it.

Respect and safety to your nephew battling these fires. Godspeed.

Fire jumped I-80 in Fairfield.

I-80 closed.

Out of control and burning in all directions.

I understand and respect your point. Nobody can speak for God. I meant to point to the fact that God still has a plan for salvation for all. When man acts contrary to His will He does take action to correct those in error. The frustration is that California is completely and utterly hostile to Christians as we speak. Democrat controlled cities run by complete idiots ignoring the rule of law are letting their cities riot and fall to the mob like Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Minneapolis, and California as a whole. So in California we have power blackouts, riots, no Church services, no business, no school, and law makers and left wing tyrants running the state into the ground and turning it into a wicked sinful place to live. I would not raise a family in this state.

We lost a CALFIRE pilot of a helicopter this morning that crashed at the Hills fire above Coalinga. Fire fighting is dangerous work. I pray for them and my nephew.

HOw could they with rolling brown outs. Guess they are hoofing it!

Nature is everywhere. We all live in the “beauty of nature” some nature is more rich in its beauty than the dung heaps that most live in now.

I love Carpinteria! Bacon avocado cheeseburger at Tbe Spot, watching dolphins swim by the family-friendly beach, Twice as Nice, AvoFest... such a lovely little town.

[Sivad]

Thanks much. I’m in the Northern Sierra
foothills. Very smoky.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks, we have some older friends who were going to drive on 80 yesterday to stay with family in the Sac area. Fortunately, they listened to my wife and didn’t go. He is very fragile with cardiac and pulmonary problems.

Nothing on our 3 county nixles, warning us of this problem.

[Grampa Dave]

The temps on I80 had to be over 100 during that traffic jam.

[BunnySlippers]

It could be, but the fire department is constantly driving around and giving out notices that brush needs to be cleared on one’s property, and other fire issues need to be taken care of. The LA Fire Department is very diligent in giving citations for cleaning up fire hazards.
