Unfortunately, this is not going to last which is why the red flag warning is up for the north and east bay hills until saturday morning. The winds gusting 25 to 30. Very low humidity. Dry vegetation means any fires existing like the glass fire will blow up rapidly and change drekds. As you look at the wind gusts, 25 to 30mileanhour winds are expected not just tonight but tomorrow night. And we are concerned about that.

Youve probably heard those three words over and over again over the past few months as politicians have debated the best way to vote during a pandemic. Spoil alert. Nothing is the best during a pandemic. But here in california, we do have a long history of voting by mail. So grab a note pad. Heres what you need to know to make sure you do it right and on time so your vote is counted. First, you should know that every single registered voter in california will be sent a mailin ballot. Counties have to send it out by monday, october 5th. So expect to get it in early october. If youre knowledge rent sterd to vote yet, you can easily do so online or by mail. The deadline is november 19th. You have to register in personal after that. Those ballots take a little bit longer to count which brings us to timing. With all this talk about delays in the post office, we want to know, what is the best way to make sure our ballots are received and counted. The simplest answer is to send it in early. You can mail it in. No postage required, or you can bring to it a ballot drop box, your county registrar of Voters Office or a nearby polling location. Some of those will begin opening in early october. You can still vote in person. And if you do so, it is recommended that you bring your mailin ballots so you can swax it out. The number one most important thing that you have to do for vote by mail is sign it. A study by the California Voter Foundation found that at least three counties including snab clara and san mateo, young voters had their ballots disqualified at three times the normal rate largely because they either sent in it too late, didnt sign the ballot envelope or the signature didnt match the one on file. So sign it and take the time to sign it correctly. Oh, and use a black or blue pen. Lots of infoe. We promise it is simpler than it sounds. Good luck and happy voting.
