[NOTALENT]

Yeah I am here in santa ana/costa mesa...and it is starting to pick up pretty good..I like it..haha but its very dry

[Mandelon]

Might keep me from having to rake the lawn and sweep the driveway... :D

[Brewzed]

It was blowin pretty good in Corona this morning. Filled my new pool up
3 weeks ago and it was getting trashed.

[MsDrmr]

Oh yeah, it hit us here in Fontana around 3am this morn. And it's been blowin ever since :mad:

SOME BLOWIN IS OK!! ;) :p

[MsDrmr]

what worries me is that this means fire season is right around the corner. Oct and Nov seem to be the bad months for fire in So. Cal :(

[Boat Loan Guy]

Are there any fires reported out there today? I realy hope not, not after last year.

[FRENCHIE]

i dunno...we live on the side of the mountain on the way up to bigbear (East higlands Ranch) and its all green again..i would not want to test it to see!! :eek: :( :p

Not yet and I certainly hope not. The NWS has issued a Red Flag warning for the mountain areas.

And that your honor is why I moved out of Fontucky. 9 years of having my trees blow down, my dog's fly around like Toto in the wizard of oz and not a single bloom on my apricot tree (except on year, we actually got two apricots, the rest blew off early). Now we just get wind a couple of days a year and I'm loving it...

breezing up here in the high desert

[RiverOtter]

Are these winds like hurricanes with out the rain? How strong are the winds (mph)? I've heard the name but do not know what they are.

[Mandelon]

20 to 50 typically. Not like a raging storm, but they blow from east to west, where we normally get breezes blowing in from the ocean. Makes it hot and dry everywhere.

[GM Killer]

Its blowing here at work. In fact its blowing so good I got hit by the AQMD today. My jobsite had six water trucks running today, I couldnt do any better then that, and Im still getting fined.
Rancho Cucamonga is the "windy city" as far as Im concerned.

[Kilrtoy]

Its blowin like the girls on SEPULVEDA BLVD on friday night
and that is HARD

[Phat Matt]

Not yet and I certainly hope not. The NWS has issued a Red Flag warning for the mountain areas.
There is a fire buring right now in the San Bernardino/Highland area kinda by San Manuel I would guess. You could see it from the freeway and you can definitely smell it.

[PlyaPlya22]

No wind at my house :yuk:

[ahhell]

Its always beautiful up here in the high desert when the santa anas kick up, nice calm southbound breeze blows all the crap back down the hill :p
