Red-flag warning of fire danger goes up in L.A. area

Dry winds are expected to return to the Los Angeles area this afternoon, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a red-flag fire danger warning.

Heavy winds last week sparked several fires around the region, including a large fire in Ventura County. But this week, forecasters said temperatures will be lower and humidity will be higher.

The red-flag warning begins at 6 tonight in areas such as Angeles National Forest and is expected to end at 6 p.m. on Friday.

There are no major wildfires burning, but the massive Station fire remains only 98% contained. Officials have said they might not get full containment until it starts raining.

Top scientists say revolutionary clean power climate control project will reduce wildfires and dangerous weather while improving the lives of billions of people.

Climatologists, biologists and physicists from all corners of the globe agree that U.S. based Gravitational Systems, L.L.C.'s revolutionary clean power climate control project INDRA will improve the lives of billions of people around the world. Concerns have been raised about the projects impact on biodiversity as deserts are terraformed to rainforests.

Gare Henderson, director of research and development for Gravitational Systems, L.L.C. ( a clean power developer), explains that the INDRA project, a proposed network of specialized evaporation channels moving sea water from the oceans toward the deserts, will convert world deserts into biodiverse rainforests. Deserts which cover 1/3 of all dry land will be terraformed into productive land. The INDRA systems will give mankind control of the weather, ending dangerous storms such as hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, and dry heat waves within a decade. Vast rivers can be turned on and off in hours, and reservoirs and salt marshes drained or replenished in days. The increased bio-mass of the terraformed deserts will begin to reverse both global warming and thermal sea level rise. UNFCCC cap and trade certification of the INDRA project will allow individuals and business to fund the plan through carbon offsets. The initial projects will be targeted north American, and north African deserts.
