Red flag warning issued for Santa Ana Mountains
November 24th, 2009, 11:51 am · 2 Comments · posted by Pat Brennan, green living, environment editor
Warm temperatures and winds prompted a red-flag warning for the Santa Ana Mountains by the National Weather Service Tuesday, signaling higher danger of wildfire. 
The warning applies only to the mountains, not the lowland areas, said forecaster Massoud Fazal.
“The high is going to be above normal for the next few days,” he said.
The warning expires at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day.
Mountain temperatures could be as high as 77 today, 80 Wednesday, and 82 Thursday, dropping to cooler temperatures Friday. Winds in Fremont Canyon in the Santa Ana Mountains were last reported at 48 mph.

Why don’t they manage the bison like a ranch and harvest the meat? Use the profits to strengthen the herd and environment in which they live?

Yes friend I did know that! Nice catch though. The question is why does aceofspades want us all to think he is a chick? Maybe that is on his santa wish list this Xmas? At any rate logic/ace we have your number - YET AGAIN!
