- I read up more - the 91 Oakland hill fire started small in one zone and pushed outside the initial zone into populated areas, so did the 23 lahaina, started inland burnt the whole town and it actually went crazy claiming over 100 lives. 25 palisades is more recent and rode the 100mph winds
feels silly that I did not realize that fires do not have zone boundaries, and warnings to adjacent areas are a deliberate choice. no one knows which way the wind blows. so glad it got called by the fire expert
by vedant28t - Cool. You may want to explain what a Red Flag Warning is and some general details about what that means if you are in a red flag warning zone or not.
I lived in the Bay Area for a while and didn't know. It would also be cool if for entering the address it did autocomplete with valid addresses.
