On the evening of October 7 2017, a series of wildfires broke out across California wine country that devastated the urban and pastoral landscape. We were contacted by a resident of Santa Rosa, Joe, who was on-site and living in his car for a week waiting to be evacuated. He asked us to create a wind map that showed the powerful Santa Ana winds that swept through that night and subsequent morning.
A Wind Story — Patterns of October 7 2017
Artists Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viégas created a rendering of the wind patterns on the day the California Wildfires began. The proceeds go to support people affected and displaced by the fire. The video below illustrates the power of the wind without the contiguous terresterial boundary to clearly show the patterns along both coasts with Hurricane Nate also swirling in the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Several artists represented by Point.B Studio are offering their work to support the victims of wildfire this season. Many western states in the US suffered extreme fire damage due to drought, changes in climate and poorly managed forest lands. We're planning to continue to raise awareness of these important issues through continued artistic endeavors.
