In response to this post

"Regardless of the intensity and extent of the winds, the weather service said there is a 70% chance red flag warnings will be issued for Los Angeles and Ventura counties Monday and Tuesday."


@ai6yr

I think maybe you know this roughly, but how strong have these insane winds been?

I’m talking the kind of winds of that video that showed up a few days ago of a McDonald’s with sparks being driven what looks likes a 40 knot gale

@ai6yr as Dr. Swain alluded to in his talk today - at least there's a bunch of resources down there already.

Windy in spots but relative humidities are up, which is good.

Stop signs out and not blinking = 4 way stop (but you wouldn't think so based on the "full speed through intersections" I saw today). Lots of traffic accidents today... assume the other person is clueless!


@ai6yr similar rules in UK -

>If the traffic lights are not working, treat the situation as you would an unmarked junction and proceed with great care.

but at busy junctions / signalised roundabouts its not uncommon for the Police to turn up and direct traffic, they often even wear their white peaked caps and white gloves like in the old TV show "Heartbeat" (available on Britbox in USA)

@ai6yr Fun one for you: that was me, blowing through 1 1/2 light. But not because I was trying to be an asshole (in the moment anyway) but because it was so dark I forgot there were even traffic lights there!

Honestly, there need to be a beefier battery setup for these lights that gets recharged during sunlight hours.

@ai6yr I look both ways even when the lights are functioning normally. I assume everybody is out to get me.

Beginning of the peak wind danger seems to be 9am - 7pm tomorrow (Tuesday), but still gusty overnight. Based on HRRR.


There's a lull after that, until 8 or 9am on Wednesday, when it looks to be one heck of a wind storm pushing in between Moorpark to Ventura (based on the HRRR weather model)

@ai6yr i think that's the 3rd PDS we've had here the last few months (the other 2 coinciding w/ Mountain & Franklin fires). i don't recall seeing those too often beforehand.

interestingly, iirc last week's red flag warning was *not* a PDS... right?
