Most of you understood the scope of devastation wrought by the fires in
Southern California. Well, the long range forecasts (and Jim would understand
them better than most) predict that the Santa Ana (or more properly, Santana
from the Spanish vientos de Satan ("winds of Satan") winds will return in the
week after Thanksgiving. California and Federal authorities are already
massing resources in Southern California to fight any fire that might crop up.
That includes bringing in fire fighting teams from Northern California and the
Western Region, bulldozers, and even the wide-body retardant dropping aircraft.
Forewarned is forearmed. It is comforting that some government agencies think
ahead on these things. It would be great if those of you in other parts of the
country never hear of any fires in California in the coming weeks!
