Temperature - Your Local Weather

[anniem]

Oh Boy @anniem
I am glad that you and yours are doing OK. Make some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in case you got to GET OUT fast. How are your pets doing? I wonder if the wild animals know where to go? Stupid DRONE folks. 

Just got an evacuation warning. Going to pack the car. Catch you later.

@Rikki Gins what is the latest news for the Mt. Shasta area?

@Rikki Gins what is the latest news for the Mt. Shasta area?

@FISH.  The wildfire that caused Annie to evacuate her house is called the Lava Fire.  So called not because there are spots of molten lava coming out of the ground, but rather because there are fields of ancient lava rock scattered about the area of the fire.  (Mt. Shasta, like most of the larger mountains in the Pacific Northwest, used to be volcanos millions of years ago.)  We (I live to the north of Annie) had a big lightning storm last week and that is what started the fire.  The firefighters seem to be doing a good job of slowly containing the fire.  Yes, evacuation announcements were given to Annie and many other people that live in the area but the good news is that so far, the fire seems to be centered in steep, isolated, hard to reach areas.    I have yet to read of anyone's house being burned up.  Here's hoping that Annie will soon be able to return to her home.  Oh yes, I keep forgetting to add that I used to fight forest fires in my youth.

Got up to 115 degrees in my neck of the woods yesterday.  (Pacific Northwest.)

@Rikki Gins thanks for this explanation. Wildfires being called Lava Fire did not make much sense to me. I am going to send Annie a message. Her community must be helping people finding emergency housing. Wildfires, hot temperatures and no home. This does not sound like fun.
I hope her pets are safe.

If you were in Christmas, FL, you’d be enjoying a “chilly” 84F.

@Rikki Gins anniem sent me a message and permission to share some info. She, her family and dog are in a hotel room. All are safe.

Thanks, @FISH.  I'm glad to hear that.  Not as hot today, but still getting some afternoon winds here in the Pacific Northwest.  That is the worst thing that you want when fighting a forest fire.  Lots of firefighting and aerial retardant drops going on there, so hopefully they can get a handle on things.  My radio scanner app allows me to listen in as they fight the fire.
