Breathing Room for California’s Burned Areas
Hundreds of people were evacuated earlier this week when storm predictions threaten areas recently burned by the fires. Residents were evacuated because of fears of major flooding.
Gillian Flaccus with the Associated Press reported:
“Without significant damage, the wet weather was a welcome change from a long siege of temperatures in the 80s and 90s with skin-withering dry Santa Ana winds that fanned destructive wildfires around Southern California. About 1,000 homes were damaged or destroyed fires this month.”
Thankfully, these residents were able to return homes in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
