CommentJOHN ANTCZAKNovember 1, 2019LOS ANGELES — Calmer weather allowed crews to increase containment of wildfires after a three-week siege of gusts fanned blazes across California and led utilities to cut power to prevent winds from blowing branches into electric lines and igniting an inferno.
Authorities in Ventura County ordered evacuations for about 7,500 people in an area that includes roughly 1,800 buildings as the blaze threatened the small, unincorporated rural community of Somis. For most of October, fires sprang up across the state, forcing residents to flee homes at all hours as flames indiscriminately burned barns, sheds, mobile homes and multimillion-dollar mansions.
Pacific Gas & Electric finished restoring power to dozens of counties in the north and central regions after a third round of shutoffs this week designed to protect power lines from being damaged or toppled by high winds and sparking fires.

Doesn’t it seem awfully odd that California is dealing with multiple wild land fires, evacuations and very dry conditions, yet the National Drought Monitor shows no stressing of water resources. Another way to undercut and disadvantage the people of CA by Washington Republicans.
