  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. For those who are wondering how it can be wildfire weather: one of the large, recent fires here, the Thomas Fire, ignited in December 4, 2017. Wind + dryness = fire danger. #ThomasFire #wildfires

    @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!

  8. @JoeBeam Hope not. One difference is that since the #ThomasFire the backup power at pumping stations is supposedly more robust.

  9. This weekend's sugar plum fairy in the #VenturaCounty #Nutcracker lost her home to the #ThomasFire six years ago amidst performing in the same ballet production. I hope the current weather and fire conditions do not trigger any trauma. She is a Senior now and deserves to enjoy this last performance.

  14. 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

  15. 5 years ago, I was glued to twitter to follow people like @ai6yr as hot winds blew around our home in Ventura, CA. I'm a fire ecologist and so was already expecting a fire in such weather but #ThomasFire was beyond belief. I was in shock as it quickly ran from Santa Paula toward the Ventura city line. As things were unfolding, my inner nerd opened a box with some of my fire books. #worldfire by @stephenjpyne felt on topic. I will never forget those long nights. #venturastrong #ojaistrong

  16. Today marks the 5th anniversary of the start of the #ThomasFire. For many in #VenturaCounty and #SantaBarbara County, this is a lasting memory, including our co-workers who were affected by the fire. #CAFire pic.twitter.com/dx6UZvzZOt— NWS Los Angeles (@NWSLosAngeles) December 4, 2022 ***EXPERIMENTAL BOT***DO NOT USE FOR OFFICIAL ADVICE***
