glad to be home and out of this heat! dang its hot!!!

 

afternoon everyone !!!


Smoke filled skies have been replaced by these these Thunderstorms building over the Lucerne Valley / 29 Palms area . Also have a weak Santa Ana winds blowing and the humidity is way up

 

i would think that would be a good thing

 

The weather reports say T Storms for the Coachella valley Palm Springs / Palm Desert regions . It's a 0% chance of rain or T Storms in my area still though

It's 98 degrees 19% humidity here right now !!

 

damn i thought you said humid

 

The Blue Cut fire is still burning but not as bad as it has been . They've got it at 26% containment / 37k acres and it's burning to the North into the Mt Baldy wilderness area

 

Last few days it was under 5% humidity !!!

 

isnt l

ow humidity supposed to be good?? and hope you are ok?

 

Here's a map of the Blue Cut fire and shows the area burned . If you look at the bottom of the map outside the Orange are you will see yellow lines that intersect

The (2) lines are the 15 fwy (left side) and 215 fwy (right side) . Follow the 215fwy about a 1/18th inch down and that's where I live . Now you can see how close I was to the fire

Under 10% is Red Flag condition/warnings or severe fire weather . 19% as its currently is still dry but is slowing the fire down . During the night it's as high as 25% humidity or slightly higher

 

Not at all like humidity back east, it's as dry as a popcorn fart out here!

 

50% is starting to get humid but that's a comfortable day

 

Yep it's dry , a glass bottle laying in the dried brush can act like a magnifying glass on the dried out vegetation

 

79% humidity here now.....It's been higher in the last few days. So much rain here lately you probably couldn't start a fire outside.

 

This is my current weather .....

Currently high level of sadness in the house. We may be having our oldest dog put down shortly. She's not responding to her meds....(K9 Addisons disease) 14-1/2 years, you get rather attached. She's in pain and yet trying to make me feel better. Gonna give the meds a little while longer, but she isn't going to suffer because I can't let go.....

 

Sorry to hear about that , Pets are part of the family !!!

 

Sorry. That's never easy. Hard to put the dog's best before our own.

 

My ride for the night

Baby has quit crying, which is dog language for "I'm not hurting". She's still not very active, but she may be responding to meds. Vet said to also double up on the steroid she takes. She's trying to wag her tail too. I'm planning on staying up with her all night if she doesn't start acting like her old self before long. We know her time is short. She's been medicated for Addisons for more than 4 years. Vet told us when we first started with the shots 4 years ago to not expect more than a couple good years. She's a fighter. Vet gave me his cell and told me to call no matter what time if we needed him.

Picture was 2 years ago.
