25-40 mph winds with gusts up to 65mph. I definitely believe every bit of that right now! I didn’t want to wake up at 0430 but I don’t think I’m going back to bed with wind like this. Shit is scary yo! Just gotta hope a fire doesn’t spark, don’t really want to have to evacuate or worse. For now the power is still up but who knows how long that will last either. This is certainly the unfortunate part about living atop a mountain.

We’re really taking a gnarly amount of extreme weather in California lately. Maybe if we raked the leaves in all our forests more often, this wouldn’t be an issue.
/s
I don’t blame you for being up so early and staying up, that’s not a fun time at all.

Average historical California fire burn annually was 4.5 to 11 million acres.*
The problem these days in CA is “too much fuel” and “too many people”. The coastal areas were historically grassland, not dense vegetation and introduced species... Hell even up in SB County they’ll fight to protect those damn eucalyptus trees that explode like Roman Candles with every fire.
Without better management of what we’re planting? It only gets worse from here.

We’ve had several wind warnings like that recently, but even in drought conditions, Ma ssachusetts is wet enough the forest fire risks were pretty low. Hopefully your recent rain at least got things damp enough that all you get is wind.

Well it was not enough rain to even result in a trickle in the dry creek beds. And it was super localized. My coworkers who live 20-30 minutes away didnt see a drop of rain at all. But thankfully this wind event is supposed to taper off by the end of the day.
