Just as the Nation recovers from the destruction and harassment of Super Hurricane Wilma, joined by Alpha is a perfect Marriage; now we have to worry about the East Winds in California. The East winds always whip up in late October and Early November and cause or exacerbate West Coast wild fires.

This years Santa Ana Winds have already been fierce, but California got a reprieve thanks to a tropical like rotating storm, which deluged much of Los Angeles and Southern California early in October. One of the storms lingered nearly a week and the other blew through and ended up giving Colorado their first real winter like weather this year. A good solid snow pack will be needed to provide the South West with the water they need to keep them out of a drought situation next summer. But meanwhile those storms are now gone and they have been replaced by the three-day long Santa Ana Winds, which are known to take a single carelessly thrown cigarette and blow it into a full-scale fire storm.

Luckily the temperatures are not well into the hundreds in California during the start of November generally but three days of East Winds or back to back 3-day East Wind weather can be wicked and raise temperatures substantially. The last week in November and the first week in October are always critical to those folks out in California, so where as we waited and were watching Wilma willfully break western world weather records we now watch the East Winds Whip Western Wild Fires. Think on this.
