#4  Couple weeks back, took the latest Flight Simulator for a flight around Napa Valley. One of the simulator's features is Real Time Weather.

Now, the simulator didn't show the actual fire (in a way, thank goodness), but it did show the 'smoke' as ground fog and clouds, and there was some interesting turbulence and wind effects I didn't encounter flying about over West Kansas in High Wind Conditions (50+ gusts).

Interesting, to say the least, the sheer amount of the simulated smoke. Landing was...interesting.

#2  I do wonder the cause of so many fires. How many were "natural causes", how many due to "human error", and how many are actually arson?

#1  No word on how the Glass fire started at 4:00am, the coldest time of day. Nothing pointing the finger at PG&E. Some Antifa antics perhaps??
