Another reminder: The Steven Thomas Schoonover who has a letter to the editor in the E-R today is not me.

Five years after the Camp Fire, I wrote about what it was like covering the story of a lifetime. Here's a link from my local newspaper, the @ChicoER: https://t.co/twqQUCjN7f

Here’s why

Upcoming road construction will result in a road closure and traffic delays.

Construction at Sulphur Works begins Sept. 25. The road will close from 8 AM to noon and again from 1–5 PM Monday - Friday through November. Plan ahead to prepare for your trip. https://t.co/kuST59mOId

This is spectacular.

Ride along with CAL FIRE Tanker 93 from the #ChicoAirAttackBase. This compilation of five different camera angles on multiple flights gives a great view into what makes this airplane so impressive.

I want the bird back.

@DavidLittleNVCF Dunno. But I apparently don't like Newsom and spelled his name wrong.

[Steve Schoonover @ER_sschoonover]

Mike Wolcott, the editor of the Enterprise-Record, just emailed me that he got a letter to the editor from a Steven Thomas Schoonover. Don't know what the letter will say, but Mike will probably run it. If you see it, it isn't me.

Hungry ticks have some slick tricks. A new study says they can zoom through the air using static electricity to latch onto you and your pets. https://t.co/mv5taV51tk

@SharonBMartin @DavidLittleNVCF Oh, he'll be unbearable now.

PG&E launches its first airboat crew on the re-emerging Tulare Lake. The goal is to scout the area, disconnect impacted, and soon to be impacted customers, while removing equipment before it pollutes incoming snow melt. More tonight at 5 and 6. @KSEE24 @CBS47

Oh wow, the wildflowers are blooming in California! Here is Carrizo Plain. Can almost smell them from 500km up!

[Steve Schoonover @ER_sschoonover]

@DavidLittleNVCF We had seven potholes just on our little cul-de-sacs. Reported them to the city and they came out and filled ... three of them. Must be an asphalt shortage. Supply chain thing.

@Sorenenelson But if it gets over 150K cfs, it overtops the Feather River levees, if memory serves.
