[FRIAM] Albuquerque, NM

[Marcus Daniels]

I ride my bike up in the Berkeley and Oakland hills a lot. Berkeley area is the worst. On many streets, the people that live up there park their cars on either side of the sidewalk. Cause it is their god given right to private storage on public roads. There’s no possible way for them get out of there in a fire like that one using a car. Many of those roads are barely even one-way as it is. 

But golly, NOAA and FEMA, who needs that?

Thanks for the heads-up! I find those sorts of days terrify me because what happened in the Oakland Berkeley fire in 91 when I was there on sabbatical. The city burned so fast that when the trucks got the source of the fire in the hills, it had already burned down into to the center. It took about a half an hour to burn DOWN a thousand feet. 



If you scroll down to the satellite map in the link above you can see the jet streak nosing into the sw corner of the image. 300 mb surface Image below shows the same thing. 



Steve, should we be packing a go bag?
