It is what is called the Santa Anna winds, Ric. The High at the top of the mountains pushes air down the mountainside and compresses as it gets into the valleys below increasing in speed, and varied directions.
Latest is that the Santa Annas should ease over the next 8 hours, but then the other problem arises. The on-shore winds come in and blow the fire in a new direction!!!
That's what the firefighters over there said they aren't looking forward to.
