Ping: Janet B - re California "King" fire
 

Apparently it's pretty dramatic (70,000 acres, 2500 firefighters).
Here is an image I just saw on Facebook.

Here's an article with other images, if you can't connect to that one.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

That first photo looks more like what you would see with a volcanic
eruption. I see they caught the ******* that started that fire. The
problem is that there is no fit punishment for something like that.
The jet stream has shifted a bit today and we have clearer air. If it
shifts a lot more we will get the smoke from Oregon fires. There was
a segment on our TV channel yesterday. They interviewed different
folks around the city. All thought that we had a local fire going
because of the smell and density of the smoke..
I hope you guys get some relief. I was hoping that some of the
hurricanes would give you some water.

Maybe Southern California got some rain, but not up here. I heard
about 10 tiny drops late yesterday and the pavement was wet this
morning - but that was probably due to fog.

Some places in S.F. area (hills) got 1/2" or more.
