It’s gonna be hot this weekend. Like reeaally hot.
Temperatures could hit 108 degrees in the valleys, a hellish nightmare, especially for folks without AC.
That heat, plus critically dry brush and some moderate wind gusts, have fire officials warning the risk for fires is extreme. Yes, we’re saying this weekend there will be extreme heat and extreme fire risk.

Already this week, two fires in the forest, the Lake Fire and the Ranch 2 Fire have burned through thousands of acres and forced evacuations. More than 5,000 homes are still threatened in the Lake Hughes area.
Officials say some of the terrain near the Lake Fire hasn’t burned since 1968, which is why it’s more difficult to contain.
Some of the Angeles National Forest has now been closed through the end of the year — that’s because the risk of more fires is just so high.
The order impacts the Cottonwood, Spunky Canyon, and Sawmill-Liebre campgrounds, along with a small section of the Pacific Crest Trail, about 13,000-14,000 acres total (which is only 1% of the forest as a whole).
“Closing an area is never an easy choice. However, it is our responsibility to continue to protect our communities before and after the fire as well as heal the land as quickly as possible,” said Rachel Smith, Angeles National Forest Deputy Forest Supervisor.
“Even as we battle fast spreading flames and dangerous conditions, our members continue to serve with respect and honor.”

Forest officials say if conditions get better, they plan to use the closure to do needed improvements to prepare for the next possible disaster: mudslides.
We … can’t even process that right now.
If you are planning on going elsewhere in Angeles Nat. Forest this weekend, officials are not allowing any campfires, camp stoves, or BBQ’s. In other words, please don’t light anything on fire.

Bolivia’s Coup Government Just Suspended Elections for the Third Time
By
Oliver Vargas
Bolivia’s coup government has announced that elections slated for September will be pushed back yet again. It’s another reminder that the right-wing coup-makers care nothing about democracy — they only want to institute neoliberal policies and repress Evo Morales’s leftist party, who they know would win a free and fair election. Still Beirut riots continues for 2nd week.
Fires runs from Utah and over 12 states and quakes keep rattling the ring of fire and USA.
