As the Smoke Clears: Maps from the Wine County Fires
Overview of the fires in Lake and Mendocino Counties:
The good news is that firefighters have pushed the flames back and Cal Fire no longer lists any structures as threatened. The bad is that 436 single family homes were destroyed, 21 more were damaged, 7 commercial structures were damaged, and another 245 minor structures were destroyed. A major swath of Mendocino County’s population was affected.
Fire danger is expected to decrease. While today should still be warm and dry, but, starting Wednesday, humidity is expected to rise and temperatures cool through the end of the week which will help quench the flames.

Wine and weed prices are going to go up .
Doubtful as many wineries had already harvested the majority of their grape crop and only a few were completely destroyed. Also there is very little chance that these fires destroyed enough cannabis to have an effect on the weedconomy. The only possibility for price flux will occur locally because the farms affected are a large portion of the existing “legal” medicinal production for the Bay area.
The last I heard over a billion dollars worth of herb is ruined. Time to sell, sell, sell.

1500 is what I’ve heard around town. Family price for family players. Growers set the price. Weed is still illegal. No IRS tax is paid. Have fun with your Rico suits down the road. The dark market absorbs the light. Sorry suits.
