Fire Season

Wakened early Sunday morning by phone calls from colleagues, I rushed to the office to lead our online coverage of the monster Valley Fire north of here. First blogging at work I have done lately.

Today we continued covering and tomorrow I am planning on sending two reporters up there to interview the people affected.

Meanwhile, scientists have determined that the California snowpack is at its lowest level since the 1500s. The drought continues, and conditions are potentially disastrous from a wildfire perspective, all over the state.

Ironically, and helpfully, a small drizzle of rain dusted the north state (and this city) today.
