  David Sneed, "Can Diablo Canyon's desal plant help ease SLO County's water crisis?" (2015) https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/article39536280.html Perhaps California should recommision Diablo Canyon Power Plant. Not just that this nuclear power plant would help stabilize the base load of the Californian grid. DCPP only used water from the Pacific Ocean which it desalinated in its own desal plant. This desal plant was licensed to produce 1.5 million gallons a day of which during operation DCPP only used 675,000 gallons a day. The surplus back then and now could be transported to the utilities or agriculture. cc @lnxw48a1 !SoCal

1. Hinkley groundwater contamination
  
  From 1952 to 1966, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) dumped about 370 million gallons (1,400 million litres) of chromium-tainted wastewater into unlined wastewater spreading ponds around the town of Hinkley, California, located in the Mojave Desert (about 120 miles north-northeast of Los Angeles).PG&E used chromium 6, or hexavalent chromium (a cheap and efficient rust suppressor), in its compressor station for natural-gas transmission pipelines. Hexavalent-chromium compounds are genotoxic carcinogens. In 1993, legal clerk Erin Brockovich began an investigation into the health impacts of the contamination. A class-action lawsuit about the contamination was settled in 1996 for $333 million. In 2008, PG&E settled the last of the cases involved with the Hinkley claims. Since then, the town's population has dwindled to the point that in 2016 The New York Times described Hinkley as having slowly become a ghost town. History During the early 1950s, Pacific Gas & Electric built its first two compressor stations in Topock, Arizona and Hinkley at the southern end of what became its trans-California natural...

The wind events seem to be mild. #NOAA / #NWS is tagging them as Santa Anas, and they are coming from the Northeast and coldish on this side of the mountains, but they aren't the 70MPH winds I expect when I hear about Santa Ana winds.

Still, there's a fire weather warning for !SoCal areas in #San_Bernardino and #Riverside and #Orange and #San_Diego counties from the mountains to the beaches. Winds expected to be 20-30MPH with gusts to 40MPH and higher speeds in the foothills; humidity 10 to 20 percent.

Outdoor burning not recommended, as any brush fires will spread rapidly.

Locally heavy rains could result in debris flows in and below the burned areas. Normally dry riverbeds and culverts may be overwhelmed with water, mud, rocks, and other debris. Dangerous flash flooding possible.

Fun facts about !SoCal:

(1) #Orange County is traditionally a Republican dominated area, occasionally referred to as "behind the Orange Curtain". #Riverside and #San_Bernardino counties are also Republican, except for areas in and near the City of San Bernardino itself.

(2) In #Los_Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles, there is some jealousy and rivalry between the San Fernando Valley and the San Gabriel Valley. SFV is mostly part of L.A City, and got to keep the 818 area code during the 626 split, while SGV did not. SFV's distincive speech patterns ("ValSpeak") were also featured and mocked in "Valley Girl", which caused people all over the country to copy it. SGV's more Hispanic oriented speech patterns are not on anyone's clone list.

#NOAA / #NWS issuing #fire_weather alert (watch) for portions of !SoCal's #San_Bernardino and #Riverside and #San_Diego Counties, as "strong gusty winds and low humidity" are expected in mountains and valleys. Includes some #Low_Desert areas, but no #High_Desert areas. Yucaipa, home to two large fires this Summer, is included in the danger area.

The alert does not cover #Orange or #Los_Angeles counties, but that may be a function of which office issued the bulletin.

If you're in Southern California, please be careful not to do things which could cause another catastrophic fire. There was a town in NorCal (Paradise) that no one had ever heard of until nearly the entire town burned down and many residents were killed in a fire a couple of years ago. We don't want other municipalities to relive their experience.
