    Whole county's experiencing severe smoke. No mandatory evacuations, and a
    couple of recommended evacuations have been lowered in alarmingness to
    precautionary (apparently Californians have learned to make some fine
    distinctions in the matter).

    It all depends now on the Santa Ana winds today, apparently-- if the Ranch
    Fire doesn't explode today, there's apparently going to be a break in the
    winds for several days.

    That has got to be wicked for everyone to be in that much smoke, but
    extremely dangerous for young ones, old folkes and people with asthma or
    other breathing problems.

    Thanks for the website mimus. Very interesting.

    It's San Diego County, next county South, that's really gotten hammered so
    far (their website isn't as scroll- quick- to- find- out- if- you- need-
    to- run- friendly as Ventura's, in spite of Ventura's foot-high recruiting
    poster/link) . . . .

    Close to 550 square miles have already gone up in this outbreak.

    It is a shame that people have to be hurt because of someone else's
    stupidity.

    They apparently had a bunch o' these blow up in 2003, so everyone's pretty
    much clued in on what to do and where to go and so on.

    They even have a statewide emergency web-site where you can go for
    up-to-date info, inciweb or some such, but I didn't want to go on it,
    since the reference I saw said their servers were being hammered already.

    One presumes Smee is off with the puppeis somewhere where you can breathe.

    You can usually fish for TV and radio-station and newspaper websites
    around the edges of a disaster (maybe in the country next door, so to
    speak) and get English-language info (right in the middle might be a
    different story-- ISTR the Beirut _Daily Star_ website staggering a bit
    last Summer).

    Ah, I see I'm demonstrating the usual admirable American grasp of even
    American geography (Los Angeles County is the next county South, San
    Diego's a couple more counties further South).

    I swear I can find the US on a world map . . . .

    IN THE MEANTIME, according to the Ventura Country Sheriff's Department,
    smoke from three different fires is converging over Ventura County and
    "The sky is expected to darken and the ground will be turning an orange
    color".

    That should have been *The sky is expected to darken and the ground will be

    I don't know what the heck the "orange dirt" thing's about.

    We have forest-fires around here, but they're, you know, just forest-fires.

    You round up the local fire departments and volunteers (sometimes
    including Boy Scouts, rarely the National Guard) and head out with shovels
    and picks and axes and dig out in front of the flames, thrown dirt on 'em
    and beat 'em down, do a little spraying here and there, and so on, while
    trying to keep your eyebrows.

    None of this hundred- mile- an- hour- down- the- canyon stuff.

    I hear what you are saying. Even here under draught conditions we have had
    no major fires. Just some fields that caught fire because some dopes tried
    to burn leaves. Quickly put out.
