Heard some vineyards and vineries were burnt down, with the loss of some hundreds thousands of bottles.. i know it's only material damage but..
And only 2-5 percent of the fires under control ?

great video...the "new normal" a calm moonlit night with mild winds helps. The fire season,still far from over: 8,200 fires; 4,000,000!! (6,250 sq. miles)acres burned; 31 dead; 8400 buildings. By comparison, the 2018 season only burned 1.67 million acres! I 'spect I'm a "closet Catholic"ie: after time in purgatory surely I shall attain paradise... even Paradise CA [82 dead 95% destroyed)didn't survive!

I don't think 15% is climate change when 85% is caused by man

The deritus of destruction
The Glass and the bigger Hennessey LNU fire have left a big cleanup in store for Napa. Combined, the 600 homes and 350 commercial buldings incl. well known wineries and resorts are a seroius mess,
Phase 1: the state dept of Toxic Substance Control removes pedticides, gasoline etc. 90% of this is done for the Henessey fire. The much bigger Phase 2 job: ash and debris is handled by the Fed Emergency Management Agency. Owners can do their own or 'go public' and turnover their insurence cleanup reciepts to th Governor's Office of Emergency Services...most owners will use the xpublic' option. The 2017 Nuns and Tubbs fires created 250,000 tons for landfills. (practise makes perfect!?)This will be even bigger. Waterways and drinking water are at risk and with temperatures in the 90's, the fire season ain't over yet! The Glass fire is in mopup with 95% containment, 196 households still evacuated. Power cutoffs are still in effect. The impact to the tourist-based winery/hotel economy, already at 25% hotel occupancy due to Covid, has yet to be calculated; but wiill certainly diminish county coffers considerably; . and we're certainly overdue for another major earthquake!

Finis...for the moment
Cal Fire has declred th Glass Fire in Napa and Sonoma Counties 100% contained. 23 days of intense destruction: 642 homes, 343 commercial buidings destroyed. The cause remains under investigation. Temperatures remain high, we are under a Red Flag wind warning with potential power shutdowns and the fire season is still a ongoing threat. Thankyou firefighters!
