New Winds Could End Calm, Slow Work On California Wildfire

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After a welcome lull in powerful winds that drove Southern California's massive wildfire, crews and homeowners braced for the return of potentially dangerous gusts that could revive the flames. Some residents are watching from afar at hotels and evacuation centers, while others are waiting in their homes and hoping for the best. Katy and Bob Zappala have stayed in their home in Santa Barbara, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles, despite a mandatory evacuation order that's been in place since Saturday. "Our cars are packed, we have all our clothes and jewelry, so we're ready to leave at a moment's notice should we have to," Katy Zappala, 74, said Wednesday.

BING NEWS:
  • These California employees work 32 hours a week and get paid for 40. This is how they do it.
    In a four-day workweek, employees work fewer hours for the same pay. Could the trend take go mainstream or is it “impractical,” as one workplace expert said?
