High winds picking up in Tahoe... no storms coming, but wind is no bueno... [View all]
Let's hope and pray that the 100,000+ tourists flooding our little town today DON'T have any illegal fireworks!
Did you know South Lake Tahoe only has a population of 22K or so...? That means we'll have 5x -6x the people/cars in town JUST for today/this weekend!! If there was a fire and we needed to evacuate, it would take over 12 hours...
I don't like windy days anyway in summer when there's no rain in the forecast...but on THIS particular weekend, it's a little nerve-wracking. I think the Caldor Fire gave us all PTSD. I guess it's a "good" thing I left my sprinkler on too long yesterday...
