Thanks for the info, Kathy. I'm sure that there are many specialized and paid individuals dealing with emergency air support during such times. The report I heard stated that there were numerous pilots that offer emergecny air drop support and do so on a volunteer basis, with no compensation. Risky enough when it's one's job. Taking that risk, gratis, takes the respect and admiration level for these fine and selfless individuals to a whole, new level.

Far more calm evening last night down our way. I've yet to put on the TV and see how things are going elsewhere. Hoping that each day finds calm and safety in everyone's community. At last report, winds were to die down considerably. Even a slight hint of clouds, by week's end/weekend. If ever SOCAL needed rain, please let it be SOON!
