It never rains in California... - a photo on Flickriver

            ...But girl, let me warn ya?
It burns, man, it burns.

A little twist on the lyrics 😎

Its been a couple of days since many parts of my community were under mandatory fire-safety evacuation. 

Fires start in the mountain canyons (in the background) and Santa Ana Winds push the flames west toward the Pacific Ocean. If you happen to be in between, bad things can happen. 

The Santa Ana winds are strong, extremely dry downslope winds that originate inland and affect coastal Southern California and northern Baja California. They originate from cool, dry high-pressure air masses in the Great Basin.

Santa Ana winds are known for the hot, dry weather that they bring in autumn (often the hottest of the year), but they can also arise at other times of the year. They often bring the lowest relative humidity of the year to coastal Southern California. The low humidity, combined with the warm air mass, plus high wind speeds, create critical fire weather conditions. Also sometimes called "devil winds", the Santa Anas are infamous for fanning regional wildfires.
