Starting a thread concerning the historic wildfires near Los Angeles.
I was there last week January 7-8-9.
Cannot remember a more volatile and active season ever, including some big events in 2024 that received little attention. Santa Ana events are usually sporadic, not consistent. The politics of draining public funds for things other than disaster preps is obvious. Just ask any firefighter.
Going by the latest runs of the GFS and ECMWF (1-14-25) there seems to be potential for another PDS high wind event early next week. (1-21/22-2025).
I'll likely go back to shooting wildfires since the LA region authorities allow media access (unlike the royal fucksters in AZ). There are also fewer "chasers" in the mix. The problem of course is selling material, but I can always do volunteer work when I am there.
