Got evacuation orders late this morning. Be safe and hope your evacuation turns out to be a precaution.

Any indications what effect this intense heat is having on the real estate market? Are Californians leaving for cooler areas?

All I can say is... I’m glad I’m in Seattle right now! I was wondering, when I read that figure. That's, like, Saudi Arabian league stuff!

The news out of VVR and Muir Trail Ranch isn’t good. Extremely bad air conditions, mandatory evacuations and hard road closures.

Meanwhile, I’m wondering if I’ll ever use my alcohol stove again.

Created below map in Photoshop this morning from an online UCCE page. Now threatening a lot of lower elevation zones where people have homes.
