Sonoma County is blessed with good people, a fantastic live arts/music scene & amazing regional, city & state parks! I like to share what I find interesting!

I never want to see MAGA lecture anyone about political violence ever again while their guy is demanding that Democrats be put to death.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Earlier this year, Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman was murdered at gunpoint in an act of targeted political violence.

We must never forget the horrifying consequences of unchecked, violent rhetoric.

DEAR DONALD TRUMP,

THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION TO THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE. WHILE WE REVIEW YOUR STATEMENT, WE SUGGEST YOU APPLY TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AT THE HAUGE. WE BELIEVE YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures.

Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.

Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

@kentphotos @NorthBayNews @NWSBayArea Hi Kent,
These are fabulous. How long does it stay visible before going below the horizon? I can't seem to find that tidbit. And were you facing west? Hoping to catch it tonight.

@kentphotos We just don't get clouds like these in Sonoma County do we. Barring the dangerous storms they contain I'd still love to see them someday.

RIP Bernard Hill. Your presence will be felt forever. My heart goes out to all who knew him.

The 4 Hobbits pay their respects to Bernard Hill at Liverpool Comic Con

"He was intrepid, he gruff, he was irascible." - Sean Astin

Echoing Sean's words, Billy Boyd, said: “We were watching the movies and I said to Dom, I don’t think anyone spoke Tolkien’s words as great as Bernard did.”

Santa Rosa Fire has 7 of our own remote automated weather stations (RAWS) around the city to monitor conditions from fire weather to winter storms. Within the last hour, RAWS are measuring gusts of 26mph in Fountaingrove and 21mph at our Fire Station 1 (Downtown/Sonoma Ave)

[CAL FIRE LNU @CALFIRELNU]

During Sunday's storm our Emergency Command Center (ECC) dispatched 391 incidents. Among that call load was 203 reports of powerlines down and 143 for trees that had fallen down.

For comparison to a normal call volume, in 2023 our ECC averaged 68 incident dispatches per day.

[Sonoma County Parks @SonomaParks]

Many of your regional parks are closed due to stormy conditions and flooding. Check a park's status online at https://t.co/ISepY56RVc

[Santa Rosa Fire Department @SantaRosaFire]

Yes the ground is moving. This is a prime example of why we residents to survey areas around homes during breaks in rain/wind, or in between storms to look for signs of weakened trees that could fall as a result of a strong gust of wind.
Contact a tree service company for help.

[Kristan Zwerling @krzee28]

@SantaRosaFire Holy moly that’s creepy and fascinating and yes. Keep your eyes peeled! WOW!

[Kristan Zwerling @krzee28]

They don’t make them like that anymore!! RIP Sharp Carousel

[Kristan Zwerling @krzee28]

@kentphotos @NorthBayNews @NWSBayArea That one at Duncan’s Landing is FABULOUS!!! Any time I’m out there for a storm that is what I wish to see. Great timing! I was there yesterday late afternoon.
