and the winds are whipping up again as I speak and getting stronger, probably peaking Monday or Tuesday. So that's going to mean several more days of really difficult conditions for the firefighters, especially those in the air, the fixed-wing aircraft, the helicopters that douse the flames with the fire-retardant chemicals, and water that we've seen in the last few days can be quite effective.
So things are moving, but slowly, in the right direction in terms of the firefighting effort right now. In terms of negative things, well, you just mentioned the looting, and we can talk about that. That's really shocking to so many people around this state and this city.
