Meanwhile here in SC it is actually chilly enough for coat weather tonight. Down into the low 60's after it set two consecutive record highs Wednesday and Thursday. Shit be crazy.
Also in the article, SoCal Edison is also considering cutting power to about 106,000 people in SoCal beginning Wednesday since we're going to be getting a decently strong Santa Ana wind event (70mph gusts in valleys and mountain passes, 55mph in costal areas) and extremely low humidity.

I'm actually pretty geared up for a cold & rainy time. My coworkers think I'm nuts for going camping this late in the year. I wanted to go all summer, but I was working OT pretty much the whole season!
Depending on where you live make sure to take a bright orange vest. Hunting season has just started, so lots of drunkards with high powered rifles running around.

Ive been shot at while hiking. Yes make sure you are very easy to identify as a person and not a deer.
A big fire broke out last night on the north end of The Valley here in LA. Currently estimated at north of 4600 acres burned and 0% contained. The Santa Ana winds are going to be at their most intense this morning so expect it to grow.
They gave an update on the fire situation in LA. The Saddleridge Fire has burned over 7500 acres (11sq mi, 28.5sq km), containment at 13%. One death from cardiac arrest related to the fire, one minor firefighter injury. The traffic situation is fucked because I5 and highway 210 are totally closed in the area of the fire, and about a half dozen other major roads and freeways are closed in at least one direction. There's basically no way to safely travel through Newhall Pass (connects the San Fernando Valley to Santa Clarita) right now. Air quality in the Valley and areas SW of the fire are apparently fucked, which makes sense. I haven't been outside since lunch, so I'm not sure what it's like on the southern side of LA.
There's also a small, 20 acre fire burning in the El Sereno neighborhood northeast of downtown LA.
Nah, it's actually being fed by the jet stream, I think. It's just a super strong cold front moving in to places that were previously unseasonably warm.
well Wednesday night the temp dropped from 72 to 45 to 38 Thursday into Friday it was in the high 30's. Today it went back to the mid 60's tomorrow is the low 70's
I hate the endless summer
Got woken up by that lil' quake tonight. 3.7M isn't too big but it was a surprisingly sharp jolt, not much shaking but more like the earth just gave one good shove. I'm only about 10 miles from the epicenter, too.
It was a quick one to be sure, my ex which lives in the same neighborhood as me didn't feel it either.
Felt a lot different from the other quakes I've felt since moving to LA.
Edit: It was definitely the snap jolt that woke me up, and I heard the apartment creak (or at least something in my room creaking) and then like 2 or 3 seconds of very mild shaking.

There was tornado in north Dallas, TX tonight, looks like a fair amount of damage. Hopefully there'll just be material losses and not any loss of life, haven't seen any reports of fatalities yet.
Watching a fire rip straight up a hill into a neighborhood in the Pacific Palisades live on the local news right now. Homes on fire, people trying to put it out with garden hoses with little effect, but big fire department response too.
If they don't get it out soon, a lot of very expensive homes are going to burn to the ground. It's a surprisingly tightly packed neighborhood for the Palisades.

I sleep with the window cracked open and fan on all through winter.

it's still hot here and I'm still waiting
It's only 15.
This is going to be awful. My body doesn't handle cold anymore.
What! 15 is totally jacket weather! Or, at least, long-sleeved shirt weather.
Soon the mammoths will return

I told you winter was coming!
Sigh.
If you're in the LA area, and love animals please foster a dog this weekend from the shelters to help make space for displaced animals.

Is this cause we killed the jet stream
Washington Post has a longer gif that I can't inline that's goddamn amazing
