China Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 El Dorado Fire, sparked during gender reveal party, grows to 10,574 acres Firefighters are still working Tuesday to contain a brush fire in the Yucaipa area that ignited over the weekend as a result of a gender reveal mishap. Officials say the El Dorado Fire has now scorched 10,574 acres with 16% containment, according to an update at 7 a.m. on the U.S. Forest Service’s Inciweb information site. Santa Ana winds forecast to blow through the area Tuesday are expected to fan the flames, prompting officials to leave mandatory evacuation orders in place. Residents in parts of Oak Glenn, Forest Falls, Mountain Home Village and some of Yucaipa have been asked to leave their homes. Residents can sign up for emergency alerts on the San Bernardino County website. The Red Cross has set up a reception site at the Yucaipa Community Center.

abdcskins Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Stupid selfish people. Gender reveal parties seem like one of the most "look at me" activities out there. Not as hot, but the skies are cloudy and dusty. I'm gonna be chilling in my house watching sports all day with the AC cranking for the next couple of weeks until the skies clear. I hate inhaling this ****. Edited September 9, 2020 by abdcskins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Track California Wildfires Using Space Satellite Images and Tools California is currently experiencing one of the worst fire seasons in its history—and satellites are helping to track the scale of the blazes and the vast smoke plumes they are producing. Instruments aboard several satellites—including NASA's Aqua and Terra spacecraft and the joint NASA/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Suomi NPP satellite—are constantly monitoring fires across the state, which have burned around two million acres this year, according to Cal Fire. The video below shows a satellite image loop revealing the rapid expansion of several large new fires that broke out across California over the weekend, including the Creek Fire in Fresno County, the Valley Fire in San Diego County and the El Dorado Fire in San Bernardino County. Another set of images show the vast amounts of smoke being pumped out by the Creek Fire—which has now burned more than 73,000 acres and is zero percent contained—as well as a large pyrocumulonimbus cloud.

China Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 17,565-acre Valley Fire 11% contained; red flag warning canceled SAN DIEGO – Firefighters Wednesday continued to battle the Valley Fire, which has scorched 17,565 acres and remains 11% contained, officials said. By Wednesday morning, the fire had destroyed 20 habitable structures and 17 minor structures and damaged nine structures, a Cal Fire incident commander said. Firefighters are attempting to protect properties along the wildfire’s path while securing it in the eastern part of the county. Nearly 700 fire personnel are assigned to battle the blaze. The National Weather Service in San Diego issued a red flag warning for the mountains and western valleys that took effect noon Tuesday and was canceled Wednesday afternoon. Strong Santa Ana winds had been expected overnight, but gusts stayed low, keeping the fire from spreading, fire officials said. Late Tuesday, the agency urged residents to “be prepared to evacuate.” “Those in/near evacuation areas, do not wait to be told to leave,” officials said. “Always evacuate if you do not feel safe, even if you are not in an evacuation area.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Need a national Aqueduct system to move water around to areas in drought. Not to rush water to places on fires. But to avoid California or the Farmlands from drying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in South Florida and experienced a hurricane,Gordon? Hurricanes are no joke. Edited September 10, 2020 by GibbsGreen11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fires, earthquakes... nah, I’d rather deal with the occasional hurricane.... no way. i mean this year is terrible with the fires, but its not normally THIS bad. those dry lightning storms that started most of the fires were like once in a generation storms. and if you dont live in the mountains or foothills, you just need to deal with the smoke for a few weeks. and earthquakes that are actually dangerous are extremely rare, and everything is retrofitted these days anyway. on the other hand, hurricanes are getting stronger and stronger every year and do way more damage. i mean, 15 years later and there are neighborhoods in new orleans that are still uninhabitable.
