Fire lanterns are illegal in most states, including California (http://www.cityofsantacruz.com/Home/Components/News/News/5516/36).

Fires in California
« Reply #6 on: November 12, 2018, 02:01:28 PM »
L.A. Marzulli apparently has lost his house in one of these awful fires, as reported on C2C the other night. Not sure what alien "evidence" might have gone up in smoke. Also other celebrities like Neil Young, Miley Cyrus,  etc also. Worse, because they are insured and got away, many dead and worst fires yet, apparently.

So far we have been lucky down here in San Diego. We have had low humidity but no high winds. That changed last night. The wind was howling so loud it woke me up and continues today. Yesterday while I was out I saw smoke from a decent sized fire on the other side of our hills. And last night I saw a little way off a small fire growing quickly in a culvert by the side of a road. Probably started by a cigarette butt. Humidity is down to 24% and the wind is gusting like a mother. I can't see or smell any smoke from my house. But I'm afraid to turn on the local news

Was talking with someone who lives north and east of San Diego (but still in San Diego County) and the consensus is they are safe for the moment but they are keeping a close eye on the news as winds can dramatically change things quickly. One of the lesser known casualties of the wildfires are the now-homeless animals. We are getting reports of thousands of displaced animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, horses, and more :( Escape plans should always include pets and other animals.

So true. Maybe we can ask @Bart Ell if he would like to make a Southern California or California animal welfare agency the clickacy charity for next month

I think the charities are already booked up through February but this would be a good addition.
Are we having fun yet?

Some family in Calabasas had to evacuate but, so far, their neighborhood and house is ok. Some folks I know in Woodland Hills could see the Malibu fires at their peak and sent me a crazy panorama video, apocalyptic and surreal, but are so far, far enough away and no evacuation orders or fires right nearby. Here is a map where you can see the various fires, however, I don't know how quickly they update and some of the fires have been moving quickly with the winds so if in area pay more attention to local news and radio etc.  Be safe all....

L.A. Marzuli is a little nuts in my book. I guess that he is now a homeless now. Maybe he could move in with Falkie?

I saw this about the fires in the LA area. https://www.rt.com/usa/443903-wildfire-toxic-nuclear-site/

Yeah, Mazulli in my opinion is a huckster but I still don't like folks, even the brazen Hollywood leftist hussies and politcal funders, to have homes burnt. And especially the honest folks, animals, businesses, ranches,and, as you, Mr.Joker, mention the possible real bad environmental stuff! I hope they get the fires under control. And also figure out future mitigation (proper forestry, PG&E management, housing development, illegals, homeless camps, and even terrorism and sick firebugs.)

Hallelujah! Overcast here today. Looks like the Santa Ana has broken. At least down here. Hope the worst is over now although it will take time to get the fires contained. Bless our Firefighters

Dammit! They promised me an El Niño, not Supercharged Santa Anas. Now if we get any decent rain the mudslides will be horrendous again
