NORTHERN CALIFORNIA GOES UP IN SMOKE?

Kitty's Eyes are burning.....

Armold says ..520 fires? are you kidding me? No..Moments later, a top state fire official standing at Schwarzenegger's side offered a grim update: The figure was actually 842 fires, said Del Walters, assistant regional chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. All but a couple were in the northern part of the state.

jaja...UNO it's usually Southern California that gets hit with these fires at Summer, not as usual with Northern. Luckily Lisa Zee got outta Tahoe in the nick of time!

Douglas, I have family in PG I need to check in on. I think I saw in the news there were some or one in So CA now ' but there is a strong feeling it was intentionally started. OK ' thanks for the heads up ' It is going to be very HOT today. It is not even noon and 78 degrees outside with a hazy overcast ' smoke ' _

well, as of this p.m wednesday, they just evacuated 14,000 folks from paradise...i think that's up on the russian river. the blazes are so bad, producing so much smoke, that they can't use their aerial tankers with retardant. hundreds of houses up in smoke. pity.

like james baldwin said, "......and GOD gave noah the rainbow sign, HE said, no more water, THERE'S A FIRE NEXT TIME".

baldwins book is a good read. he kinda like miles davis, an angry young man. not as intense as davis...davis was a slammer and so his personality was really intense.

Doulgas..no my dear - many, miles North of Russia River.. I have family up in Paradise, Oroville, Chico - Yolo County. It is much more North. It is amazingly ugly as sin. There is a small canyon that looks like a minature version of the Grand Canyon. It is pretty in the outskirts (amongst the trees burning up now). Paradise is known for its Antique stores and there are a lot of "techies" that live there now too (they live in the woods.) Just jam away on their computers and telecommute 2-3 days a week at most....

This morning, wish I had my camera.....the rising sun was blood orange red from the pollution. What a sight - only seen that one other time many years back from Northern CA fires. But I think it was even close to as big as this...
