18. I"m really hoping El Nino restores some water to the state and helps with this drought

If this drought continues in northern Cali, and Oregon and other states, without relief, we are all in big trouble. So far Oregon has not been as bad as I expected. Washington was bad and now Cali is seriously bad.

Does anyone have a count on how many homes lost?

That youtube video linked to by Jeff47 is really frightening. I live in a place where I migiht have to do that kind of a drive to get out if there is a fire north of me. I'm on a dead end narrow road with forest on both sides of the road.

What surprised me about that drive is that no falling buring trees ended up in the road to block them.
