That warning, issued by the National Weather Service, also covers the East Bay Hills and Diablo Range, the Santa Cruz mountains and Los Padres National Forest, where the \u003ca href=\"https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7018/\">Dolan Fire\u003c/a> is burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire officials have warned residents to be vigilant about calling in any new fires they spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1311717082208165888\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really have a tough 24 hours ahead of us as we go through this weather pattern,” said Cal Fire Deputy Chief Jonathan Cox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that cooler more favorable weather conditions are forecast for later this weekend, when firefighters expect to make good progress containing the Glass Fire. “But really we’re focussed right now on the next 24-hour operational period to really do as much as we can to protect the community that are threatened out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1311465354833530881\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday morning the blaze had destroyed at least 36 single-family homes in Sonoma County, along the eastern edge of Santa Rosa, and 107 homes in Napa County, according to Cal Fire. However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk.

However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk.

As of \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CAL_FIRE/status/1311126897917456384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tuesday evening\u003c/a>, the blaze was 2% contained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAL_FIRE/status/1311126897917456384\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As winds slowed Monday evening, firefighters were feeling “much more confident,” said Cal Fire Division Chief Ben Nicholls. “We don’t have those critical burning conditions that we were experiencing those last two nights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire has so far destroyed at least 80 single-family residences — 28 in Sonoma County and 52 in Napa County — and more than 30 other structures, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CALFIRELNU/videos/428014184827967\">Cal Fire reported\u003c/a> Tuesday morning. Nearly 1,500 personnel are currently battling the blaze, including federal and state firefighters, as well as first responders from local departments throughout California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just want to let everyone know that every firefighter that could work, came to work and went to work and most of them are still out there supporting the incident,” said Santa Rosa Fire Chief Tony Gossner at a Tuesday morning press briefing. “It’s been a long two days for everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to be in this for a couple of weeks, is my take on this. Which means it’s going to be kinda long and it’s going to be painful for those that are dealing with it,” Gossner added, urging residents to “take a deep breath,” heed evacuation warnings and look out for their neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1310801228293500928\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire crews on Tuesday continued to focus their efforts on protecting the densely populated neighborhoods in the east Santa Rosa area along the upper part of Calistoga Road and the Highway 12 corridor, said Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mark Brunton, noting “good success” establishing fire breaks and containing flames in nearby Trione-Annadel State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire had receded considerably on the lower part of Calistoga Road, which he said was “looking pretty good.” By Tuesday afternoon, evacuation orders had been downgraded to warnings in \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1311063222842200064/photo/1\">a number of nearby Santa Rosa neighborhoods\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In eastern Sonoma County, the fire had reached Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, where crews were working to connect old control lines from the 2017 North Bay fires to block its spread, Brunton said. But ongoing smoky conditions, he added, were continuing to prevent aircraft from supporting suppression efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In rural Napa County, crews on Tuesday were still fighting to protect the community of Angwin, nestled in the steep hills above the Napa Valley, in what Brunton called a “run-and-gun battle” against the blaze as it continued spreading toward Pope Valley, east of Calistoga. All residents in and around the area \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1310991669475516417\">were ordered that morning to evacuate\u003c/a>. Clearer air, however, was allowing aircraft to begin “aggressively” supporting ground crews there, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 68,000 people in Sonoma and Napa counties had already been evacuated from their homes as of Monday evening, Cal Fire said, with more evacuations likely in the coming days. On Monday evening, the city of Calistoga in coordination with Napa County, expanded \u003ca href=\"http://nixle.us/C8AS2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mandatory evacuation orders\u003c/a> that now include that entire city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://sonomacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=69a0e54e9e2b48c086d122027b21c961\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Glass Fire is raging through brush that has not burned for a century, even as its flames spread in between areas that were incinerated in a series of massive blazes in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all unburned vegetation that did not burn in 2017,” said Cal Fire Incident Commander Billy See, referring to the devastating Tubbs, Nuns and Adobe fires. “This fire is 42,000 acres of change at this point, sitting in the wildland interface area.

The blaze had burned about 2,500 acres by nightfall and was 0% contained. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just after sunset Sunday, with a gusty, bone-dry northeasterly wind blowing across the higher ridges in the area, a pair of fires ignited all the way across the valley to the west.

And just a decade later, in the 1830s, when European settlers began making their homes in the Napa Valley, wine grapes would have been one of their crops. Commercial winemaking in what we now know as “wine country,” however, traces its roots back to a German immigrant named Charles Krug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11838201\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11838201\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/CharlesKrug-1020x1541.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Krug started one of the oldest wineries in Napa Valley back in 1861.\" width=\"400\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/CharlesKrug-1020x1541.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/CharlesKrug-800x1208.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/CharlesKrug-160x242.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/CharlesKrug-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/CharlesKrug.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charles Krug started one of the oldest wineries in Napa Valley back in 1861. \u003ccite>(Peter Mondavi Family Winery/\u003ca href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CharlesKrug.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While living in San Francisco, Krug managed a German language newspaper and \u003ca href=\"https://napavalleyregister.com/wine/columnists/allison-levine/allison-levine-please-the-palate-mondavis-celebrate-75-years-at-krug-winery-in-napa-valley/article_249afd84-cabf-5a4e-a730-3b3c9b5e9a1b.html\">is said to have experimented with winemaking\u003c/a> as a hobby.

In 1840, California had about 8,000 people. Just 10 years later, the population had grown to roughly 100,000. Meanwhile, San Francisco was booming. In July 1849, 5,000 people called it home. Six months later, the population was five times that. By 1870, the population of the city had reached 100,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reaction to this population boom, more and more grape growers began to plant grapes in what we now know as wine country, an area that stretches through Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake and Solano counties. But California wines only represented a fraction of the wine consumed in the United States. California had no bottling plants, so grapes were shipped east on trains for bottling. And it was cheaper for consumers on the East Coast to import wine from Europe by boat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1875, the federal government stepped in and increased import taxes on European wines.

Phylloxera ate the roots of European grape varieties like Vitis Vinifera. Jim Lapsley says that when phylloxera arrived in wine country, “It killed the vineyards. And the only way you could really come up with a solution was to plant on grafted vines. The bottom, the rootstock would be a native variety,” which the bugs didn’t like, “And then on the top we have a graft with the European vinifera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11838202\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11838202\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf-1020x677.jpg\" alt=\"Phylloxera galls on a leaf.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf-800x531.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf-1920x1275.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/PhylloxeraGallsOnLeaf.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Phylloxera galls on a grape leaf.

But the grafted rootstocks worked best, and they are still used widely on vineyards in Sonoma, Napa and surrounding counties today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1920s brought another rough patch to California winemakers.

And just a decade later, in the 1830s, when European settlers began making their homes in the Napa Valley, wine grapes would have been one of their crops.

County election officials generally officially announce whether the measures passed a month after the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Arnold, a Novato economist and treasurer of the NotSoSMART campaign that opposed the tax, said Tuesday that the measure’s defeat was predictable given what he called the rail agency’s “dysfunction,” its relatively high operating costs and modest ridership numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The story is not that complicated,” said Arnold, who has opposed the rail system since its inception and fought the successful sales tax measure funding the transit agency in 2008. He pointed to federal government data that shows SMART, which has about 3,000 riders per weekday, spends about $37.60 for each passenger trip. That compares to $5 per trip for BART.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an incredible amount to be spending on something that doesn’t deliver very much,” Arnold said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last two months, the battle over the sales tax extension became the most expensive ballot measure campaign in North Bay history. With a total of more than $3 million spent on the issue, Measure I was also by far the costliest 2020 local ballot fight anywhere in the Bay Area, with a total more than five times higher than the No. 2 big-dollar race, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11805061/contentious-open-space-measure-in-danville-too-close-to-call\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Danville’s Measure Y\u003c/a> development proposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County developer Molly Gallaher Flater donated nearly $2 million to fund the effort to defeat the SMART measure, campaign finance records show.

He argued that the board has failed to rein in “incredibly risky” operating decisions made by SMART managers. He and other opponents have accused SMART of not being transparent about how the agency is run, noting, for instance, that it only recently began releasing ridership reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to require quite a reform of the agency for them to win back the trust of the voters,” Arnold said. One step in that direction would be to dismiss General Manager Farhad Mansourian, whose leadership SMART opponents have long criticized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of accusations leveled against SMART, some more factual than others,” said Chris Rogers, a SMART board member and Santa Rosa City Council member. He acknowledged that the board must make strides to become more transparent and to demonstrate to voters that it’s in control of SMART’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were accusations we have no oversight over agency funding,” Rogers noted. “That’s categorically untrue. We need to do a better job of showing what that oversight is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s vote “doesn’t change the need for us to get people out of single occupancy vehicles and do a better job of explaining why SMART is something we need,” Rogers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Lucan, a member of the Novato City Council now serving as the SMART board chair, argued as the first votes were being counted that SMART is on track to providing an effective commute service — citing, for instance, newly released data that shows weekday ridership in the first two months of 2020 rising about 30% compared to the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he conceded that the agency has work to do to win wider public support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a young agency, we’re always collecting feedback and trying to deliver the best possible service we can,” Lucan told KQED’s Mina Kim in an on-air interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Bay voters approved the quarter-cent SMART sales tax in November 2008 by a vote of 69.6% yes. Strong support in Sonoma County, where Measure Q won a 73.7% yes vote, was decisive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NotSoSMART’s Arnold said that the rail project’s opponents lacked funds in 2008 to mount a campaign in Sonoma County, which in 2008 had about 70,000 more voters than Marin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that the $2 million war chest provided by Molly Gallaher Flater allowed the “No on I” forces to target Sonoma voters this time around.
