I don't wish to become too excited but...

1. Yay! None here in San Gabriel Valley where the Bobcat fire came within a 1/2 mile of my front door!

[ailsagirl]

4. So the Bobcat fire has been contained?

I just read that it's 84% contained but I don't know if that is current info

5. My area burned first, then it headed northeast for days and days

2. Please please please (fromm Napa)

But PLEASE, not another dry lighting event.

3. NO!!

When I was a kid, I always wondered why we (in northern Calif) don't have thunder & lightning storms-- I don't care what the answer is-- I never want to experience another one!!

We need rain-- it would be great if we started early this year and not have to wait until January.

Stay safe!!

6. I was evacuated in 2017

... and again about a month ago (LN Fires). Both times the Hero Firefighters saved my community.

This latest round is not threatening us, it is more towards St. Helena/Calistoga. About 10-15 miles as the crow flies, so too close for comfort, but not coming this way. The air finally cleared yesterday, before that it was hideous outside.

Anyway, yes yes yes, I will do a Raindance if it helps. We need rain. (but then we have mudslides to worry about)

A life without worry... is it possible? (not until after November methinks, and even then we have to worry about a civil war)

I worry too much, but how can one not in these days of trials and tribulations?

7. Just hang in there, Nictuku

People have gotten through much worse-- we can do this.

If you can, try to confine your worry to things you can change-- is what I've read. And I think it's true, although I constantly worry about those things I can't change-- it's a real struggle sometimes.

8. So much for the rain...

9. This is only Wednesday, and rain is still in the forecast for Friday and Saturday

Albeit only 20%

Rain or not, it WILL definitely be cool and cloudy; the firemen in the region will really appreciate it, and containment numbers will go up appreciably.

[alabhaois]

10. I'm VERY glad about the cool & cloudy weather

Hoping no more hot spells -- at least, not until next year.

11. I believe the forecast for most of wine country is .25 inch or less

there will be variations, of course, as there always are
