I'm safe (thanks).  Friends in Santa Monica have packed a bag and are on alert for an evacuation order. Friends in Altadena have evacuated to the south of Pasadena.  I'm just hearing a lot of wind, sirens and breathing very, very smoky air.

My friends who evacuated from Altadena went back to their home today.  The home was on fire. It will be a total loss!  These fires ain't playin'.

You’re right.   Urban fires used to be single dwellings, hastily put out by city firefighters.    But these wind-driven fires are wildfires, leaping rooftop to treetop.   Friends in Santa Monica are panicked about their several blocks lined with palm trees, ready to act as matches.

Weather I am so over it like can't we have a different way to signal what season it is like the sky is orange for spring and this white stuff on the ground is pretty for fifteen minutes then it's studded with dog poop and a death trap and can I go to the store a block away without wearing three sweaters and ugh.

There were some mudslides. Now the atmospheric river is gone. The Santa Ana winds are a distant memory. The captain has taken off the fasten seatbelts sign.

NEVER unbuckle your seatbelts while on a plane, regardless of what the captain says.   There's always some kind of turbulence just off the horizon.

I'm feeling that way when I sit on my couch watching TV.
