We've had tons of them over the years

10:51 am

11:26 am

Dorens

never realized it was breeding. thought maybe it was choice.

11:26 am

Dorens

no, but thanks rolin

11:26 am

MollyL

For a country surrounded by water, it is amazing that Ireland doesn't get more weather like this. Apparently, the water surrounding it is usually too cold to support tropical storms.

11:29 am

rururocks

we are thankfully forecast to get some rain here

11:30 am

Dorens

that's great news. are you back in napa?

11:30 am

rururocks

yes.. we were ok to come back yesterday.. it is really smoky here (new fires) but Napa City is a lot safer now.

11:31 am

rururocks

Even went out to dinner last night downtown to support a local restaurant

11:31 am

Dorens

Yes, Larry said they were going back and said rain was forecast, but until it actually happens, I'll keep my fingers crossed

11:32 am

rururocks

they said THursday.. the fire depts. say they will have the two major fires out by Friday.. the Oakmont fire is the worst one now and Sonoma Square is threatened.. it's been unbelievable.

11:33 am

Dorens

oh no, Sonoma Square? where they have the Farmers' Market?

11:35 am

rururocks

yes.. it's pretty bad there.. they are throwing everything at it.. there are over 12,000 firefighters fighting these fires from other countries and states helping out

11:41 am

moolingwa

Awful stuff, I once looked at buying a house in Santa Rosa...ended up living in the East Bay instead. all beautiful country being destroyed

11:48 am

moolingwa

So tough to get out of a lot of those places too, awful loss of life

11:50 am

rururocks

I think there is going to be a lot more loss of life sadly.. there are still 100 people missing

Glad you are okay, Ruru. Sorry to hear about the deaths and destruction from around your part of the world.

2:15 pm

zoozzoom

We just missed a near hurricane force winds here but Ireland were not so lucky and took a direct hit.

2:18 pm

zoozzoom

It also coincides the hurricane forced we we had in the UK this very day in 1987 with so much distruction. there was also loss of life but I do not remember how many.

2:20 pm

zoozzoom

And the poor TV weather man at the time in 1987 called Michael Fish took the brunt of ridicule when he famously said "A woman called in today to say there was a hurricane on the way...Don't worry...there isn't"

2:34 pm

mo

zooz .. how is it where you are?

2:35 pm

zoozzoom
