We've received 0.33" of rain today which is welcome (although one might have hoped to squeeze just a bit more out of those clouds, but of course I won't actually ask for more, because holy hell, we all remember September.)
So. Thank you for the rain. And I understand those to our south received much more than we did, which is wonderful as they have the fires.

'Scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi have developed new wildfire risk maps to better predict fire danger across the state. Unlike the current Red Flag Warning system, which relies on weather from a limited number of stations, these maps provide a daily, high-resolution look at the most current fire ignition risks statewide.'

Elderly, disabled were left stranded during L.A. fires as evacuation plans broke down (paywall)
"...What followed was a frantic DIY rescue effort. City and county officials had no such registry, so DCRC and other groups improvised, calling Ubers and Lyfts, even autonomous vehicles, to pick them up. ..
After reporting from The Times revealed that west Altadena did not get official evacuation alerts until nearly nine hours after the Eaton fire started, L.A.

Slightly SW of #Asheville, our #AQI numbers have gone way up, and the 2 windows I had open for an hour trying to bring down the #CO2 #IAQ numbers are now closed again due to smoke.
Really, some rain would be welcome. But just a little, controlled rain. Without lightning. Please.
