  1. Southern California Edison is asking California's Public Utilities Commission to let them charge customers an extra few billion dollars to pay for their losses in Ventura County's #ThomasFire. In a few days they'll ask for more rate increases to pay for the #WoolseyFire. Hell of a deal; they burn down customers' houses then get customers to pay for it.

    Those damages should be paid by SCE shareholders that have been profiting off of the company's failure to maintain and upgrade their grid.

  2. CW: Disasters, early warning via crowdsourcing works

    @ai6yr this is exactly what started me down this #hamradio #emcomm #wavetalkers path back in the early hours of the #ThomasFire

    Wildfires can move way faster than official channels are able to keep up with. The work you do to help keep us informed of rapidly changing events is so critical. Thanks for all you do!

  3. Five years post-fire and the chaparral in Los Padres National Forest is on its way back. I challenge anyone to find a prettier smelling North American ecosystem in late December. #chaparral #Thomasfire #sage #laurel #sumac #chemise
