Truly welcome news

No other county has felt California’s wildfire crisis like Lake County. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the #BoylesFire. We'll have more updates to this story as the day goes on: kqed.org/science/199421…

After Lake County Fire Burns Dozens of Homes and Vehicles, Crews Search for Casualties “We were inside watching TV & all of a sudden, my neighbor yells for me to come out & you can see the flames,” Samantha Tarver @kqedscience @kqednews Danielle Venton kqed.org/science/199421…

“I have concepts of a plan.” Going to use that when my editor asks where my story is

A text book example of how wind-driven embers advance a #wildfire. The lesson here is: Don't fixate on the fire itself; pay attention to the wind. If it's blowing toward you, embers are, too, and you better get the heck out of there.

Thanks, Keith!

You'd think we'd be better at recovering from wildfires by now. Weeks after the #ParkFire took their homes, survivors still have few answers about how to recover. For the larger percentage of survivors who are uninsured, the problem is dire. Pls read: kqed.org/science/199433…

Things that surprised me while reporting this: -Recovery isn't uniform. Each fire is unique, depending on who takes charge. -Therefore local gov't can not use past fires as a template. -Ironically, the bigger the damage the better for survivors.

Great article from ⁦Danielle Venton⁩ on the challenges facing residents of Cohasset who lost homes in the Park Fire. Interesting (worrying) that so many seem to be uninsured. kqed.org/science/199433…
