The Weather In Southern Calfornia or Los Angeles On Fire! by Waldemar Puszkarz, Ph.D.
Many people out there believe that Southern California is one of the best places to live. Well, perhaps that is so, but if you love frequent fires then it indeed is the best.
Because of its hot and dry climate, fires in Southern California are a common phenomenon. Sometimes only the winter season is free of them, but not always. With the arrival of new spring, their season starts for good again. Until yet another late fall.
Where I happen to live, in Hollywood, arguably the most famous part of Los Angeles, I have witnessed two fires this year already and it’s not even mid May! Both on the Hollywood hills that feature the famous Hollywood sign. The first of them broke out a few weeks ago, started allegedly by some teenagers. It ravaged the northern part of the hills overlooking Burbank that hosts the NBC studios famous for The Tonight Show.
The more recent fire broke out just yesterday in the eastern part of the hills, close to the Griffith Observatory, another famous Hollywood landmark. Famous largely to the locals as the Hollywood sign dwarfs all other landmarks squarely.
Both fires were relatively easy to manage and got contained within several hours. I happened to see a large cloud of smog from the first fire, but the other one was only a TV event to me. It looked really spectacular though as you can see in the picture posted on my site. Fortunately, the observatory survived unscathed.
However, some fires can go on for many days. When this happens and the fire location is close to town, you see a lot of smog in the air. The last time this happened, in late Fall 2003, you could watch sunspots with a totally naked eye. No protection was really necessary.
Because of the thick fire smog, the Sun face was reddish most of the day, its shorter wavelengths extinguished by the dust in the atmosphere. This usually happens only during sunsets and sunrises when the Sun is close to the horizon, but then it was possible even with the Sun still high above it. I could easily see a huge sunspot and a few smaller ones on its surface. It was around 4 PM as I was approaching the local Hollywood Library along Selma Street, facing west.
To see the picture of a really spectacular fire ravaging the hills near the Griffith Observatory in Hollywood please visit this page (http://www.eminimethods.com/la_fire.html) which is just one of the many in the Eclectic section of my site featuring articles on a variety of topics.

Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia, Supplement 2 $145 This reference work is the second supplement to Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia (a 1998 American Library Association Outstanding Reference Book) and follows the intent and format of the encyclopedia and first supplement. In speaking of that first supplement—”superb…the scope in phenomenal”—ARBA referred to the basic volume as “a reference legend…lavishly illustrated, cleverly written, and extraordinarily comprehensive.” This continuation of what is now the standard encyclopedia provides up-to-date concepts and evidence of dinosaur paleobiology and evolution. Various competing positions are well presented and exhaustively referenced. The content is based on the latest original research of paleontologists, especially in dinosaur systematics, and genera, and covers such topics as the constant changes in technology and research methods, the Mesozoic Era in general, new theoretical ideas, the dinosaur-bird debate, dinosaur extinctions, and nomen nudum and excluded genera.Author Biography: Donald F. Glut is a prolific book and article writer, and movie producer-director. Among his many works are Jurassic Classics (2001, $28.50), Carbon Dates (1999, $28.50), Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia (1997, $145) and its Supplement 1 (1999, $60), all from McFarland. He lives in Burbank, California. |

Burbank (born August 10, 1858 in Harvard, Illinois, died April 21, 1949 in San Francisco, California) was an American artist who sketched and painted many Native Americans, including being the only person to paint Geronimo from life. Elbridge was born on August 10, 1858 in Harvard, Illinois to Abner Jewett and Anna Maria (Ayer) Burbank. He died April 21, 1949 in San Francisco, California after being struck by a cable car on January 27 in front of the Manx Hotel (now the Villa Florence). Elbridge was a second cousin, three times removed from Luther Burbank – and a second cousin, twice removed from Gerald Ford, 38th president of the US. His uncle, Edward E. Ayer, was a successful business magnate, museum benefactor and an avid antiquarian collector of books, original manuscripts and other materials relating to the history and ethnology of Native American peoples at the time of European encounter. His collection, one of the founding donations to the Newberry Library in Chicago, contains a number of Elbridge’s works. E. A. was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, referred to as ‘manic depression’ at the time, and was treated at several different facilities during his life – most notably for over ten years at the State Mental Hospital in Napa, California. ‘E.
