Wacky weather and smoke from local fires

Friend of mine just texxed me, his sister lives near Shaver Lake/Creek Fire, the big one at Yosemite, her house is just burnt rubble now
So sad. My childhood home in malibu burnt down a few years after we moved. I remember seeing flames at the top of our hillside on two occasions. The sound of KNX 1070 news radio's intro gingle haunts me to this day.
