mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2017 Off the top of my head, I can't remember who ... but I know there are a few members who are from the areas near Napa Valley. I truly hope the recent fires there have left you unscathed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2017 Posted this on my facebook page today... "The other night on the National Fake News they were showing a huge gathering of sympathizers sending up thousands of those Chinese Lanterns. These are basically white paperbags with string holding a candle underneath. This is a beautiful sight as you watch these burning candles lifting the white paper bags heavenward, glowing to honor both those lost in Las Vegas and other incidents that cannot be understood or explained by normal people." "The next night on the National Fake News they had pictures and video of the terrible wildfires that were breaking out all over California. UHHHH?"

mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2017 vicrider's favorite news source says chinese lanterns are to blame. California is always plagued with fires during the dry seasons. Winds differ and some years, they aren't too bad. Years like this one, the winds have spread the fires faster than the crews can keep up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2017 After a good spell of drought killing a lot of trees and brush followed by a very wet winter and spring making for heavy grass and weeds, is a big part of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PENZZZ 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2017 I thought I’d heard high winds Sunday downed some power lines, causing brush to ignite. Regardless of cause, citizens are suffering terribly. The area will be impacted negatively for a long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
