VOLCANO MADNESS: [CaliforniaDisasters] Red Flag Warnings

URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 946 AM PDT Wed Oct 30 2019 ...EXTREME RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY PDT FOR MUCH OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES DUE TO STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS AND VERY LOW HUMIDITIES... .A strong Santa Ana wind event is underway, with damaging winds gusts generally between 50 and 70 mph across wind prone areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties through mid afternoon. There will be isolated gusts to 80 mph across the Los Angeles County mountains, including the western portions of the Santa Monica mountains. The Santa Ana winds are expected to be around 10 mph weaker tonight and Thursday morning, as compared to today. Although the air is cold, humidities will lower to the single digits nearly everywhere today through Thursday, and down to 1 or 2 percent in the driest windiest locations. Overnight recoveries tonight will be near zero over Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, and poor everywhere else. These prolonged dangerous fire weather conditions combined with the very dry fuels and presence of existing fires and associated flare-ups adds up to extreme Red Flag conditions. As a result, the potential for extreme fire growth and behavior is as dangerous as we have seen in recent memory. Use extreme caution with any potential ignition sources, and residents in high fire risk areas should be ready and set to evacuate if emergency officials say so.

The strength of the expected winds could result in downed trees and power lines as well as power outages. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... An extreme Red Flag Warning means that conditions are as dangerous for fire growth and behavior as we have seen in recent memory, due to the combination of strong winds, very low humidity, long duration, very dry fuels, and presence of existing fires and associated flare-ups. Use extreme caution with potential fire ignition sources. Residents in high fire risk areas should be ready and set to evacuate if emergency officials say so. && $$
