Re: [californiadisasters] FW: [EDIS] red flag warning in effect from 11 pm this evening to 7 am pdt thursday for gusty winds and low humidity for fire zone 264

Thanks for posting that, Brian. I feel the bulletins relating to katabatic wind events in California are worthy of attention on this list given what these winds have historically contributed to in our state's history. I do usually do it because nobody else does and I feel it should be done. However, I am utterly unopposed to other's posting these weather bulletins for Diablos and Santa Anas and Monos and such.
