Oakmont neighborhood off of white oak drive in the eastern part of santa rosa. Take a look behind me. This is the annandale state park land. What you have here is a wildfire coming down the hill towards the homes in this neighborhood. Firefighters are taking a stand. They do not want this fire to spread into these neighborhoods, into the homes. So far there are no structures damaged. This is still just a wildfire. We are seeing firefighters here keeping a watchful eye. The biggest thing happening today is the fact that the winds have died down. If we were still experiencing the same winds as yesterday that were blowing 60 Miles Per Hour at some point in santa rosa, there is no way firefighters would be able to keep this fire from spreading into the neighborhoods. That is what has caused so much destruction throughout the city of santa rosa and the surrounding areas in Sonoma County. Again, firefighters are here on the scene. They are between this fire in the homes. What is incredible i
We have a different pattern compared to yesterday at this time when we had offshore wind. Things have calmed down considerably for many. It will be a quieter and cooler day. Highs in the 70s and 80s. Soon coming even that red flag warning around the north bay hills will be expiring. A lot quieter today, thank goodness coming and we will see higher humidity as well which will help the firefighters. Good morning. Right now we are looking at the area of the fires. We see that traffic from santa rosa to petaluma and novato is doing well. Highway 37 is open. We do have fire closures in the areas of where the actual fire is. It looks like highway 101 has reopened. There are closures on highway 128 and areas of napa or the Silverado Country Club. For the most part, the major freeways are doing okay. If you were on the mountain altamont pass, 580 and 205 are off to a decent start. This is a look at highway 101 in san rafael. It looks good driving two 580. No major problems on the east shore fr
