Brian Sandler says…Our most likely weather disaster would be winter storms with high winds, leading to flooding. Have a good source for getting a weather forecast. Next serious: draught and heat leading to fires. Meteorologists go out on wildfires. Snow can bring the valley to standstill. Freeze kills the brush that later becomes a fire hazard. Thunderstorms-lightning starts most major fires. Last summer was the warmest in history. Snowpack only 5% to 20% normal. Emigrant lake at 9%. Borderline severe drought.
