Calinfernia

Here in Ventura County, an “extreme” red flag warning wind event is expected to arrive in a few hours.

Southern California Edison has already all but promised to turn out the power for essentially all of northwestern Ventura County, from Piru to Casitas Springs, as shown in this map in the bluish-gray areas. Friday could easily be out until Friday.

More to be said about this than can possibly be said in a quick post, but let me tip my cap to Jack Ohman’s ‘toon on the subject of California burning today in the Sacramento Bee.
