Theres still a lot of heartbreaking destruction out there. Parts of this landscape is still smoking in evidence with the fire burned through is everywhere from the charge shrubs of this median along highway 12 to the black and the grasses and trees in this orchard and on a small cul de sac that backs up to the orchard you can see where the fire demolished one home. Very little is left of 6029 molina glenn place just the brick pillars in the bones of the garage remains standing. One cars parked inside but its back windows are blown out inside the guts of the house are basically charcol and still smoking further out along highway 12 Sonoma Valley is hazy with smoke. Trees on the hillside now skeletons their foliage burned away. Some homes were spared here but a few like this one not far from richards road is barely recognizable all thats left is a pit of ash covered pipes and appliances burned down to the foundation in the community i found santa rosa firefighters just as they wrapped up tao seen whats left of 5964 stone bridge road again as they work to mop up fires that flare up again just coming back to the old structures have burned down the first night. And were making sure that theyre not rekindling because were finding that after a few things that have been kind of smoldering underneath race foundations and things like that are rekindling starting catch fire again and starting to cast members off into the other homes and into the landscaping so were just making sure that the houses are out. Putting more water just ensuring that. The remaining parts of the residences are safe. Now again the weather conditions have improved out here i spoke to fire officials who say the winds have shifted. Now these winds may pose a challenge for those on the napa side of the glass fire the napa county side of the glass glass fire but they expected to help improve firefighting conditions here on the Sonoma County side so much so that there are areas here in Sonoma County that were previously evacuated that are now beginning to repopulate reporting from santa rosa morning, kelly kron 4 news.

It direction yesterday and allowed those resources to go direct on fire and start that long laborious process of constructing containment lines that ultimately will be the lines that used to the priorities for today or a significant portion of line to be cut between gray pine trail and Bald Mountain and the sugarloaf state park as that line has hold because if it doesnt were going to have to fall back to. The oakville raid on the napa county side trinity road on the Sonoma County side. And we dont want to give up that much land and structures in those 2 control so that was our priority is our priority for today. Followed closely behind by road.

Thats right about kron 4 chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow joining us now laurents you guys a favorable conditions for firefighters today as weve seen more of an on shore breeze and that was really just enough to change things for them and you can as that breeze kicked in coming out of the westsouthwest. And kunduz calm conditions parts of the times that some good news question is just how long that can last right now those winds moving 69 Miles Per Hour again coming out westsouthwest thats bringing that nice moist ocean air in that direction so slow down the spread of the fire but things are going to start shift gears maybe a little more, northerly component as we get Late Wednesday into thursday that will bring with it some hot temperatures to youre going to see that breeze continuing into the evening hours we take to the night tonight begin to see a things going call into early tomorrow morning which is great for firefighters there theyll see an influx of low clouds and the fog but then as we get late in the day tomorrow look at that little more northerly component in some parts of the north bay that will be a trend that takes us into thursday thats going to send the temperatures up around the bay area to so going to watching those temperatures move up a few degrees still staying hot inland were seeing a lot of this and this has been whats been a great factor in helping the firefighters is that influx in the low clouds and the fog of certainly seen a lot of it out there comes off in the afternoon watch a nighttime again getting near the saturation point even in santa rosa, almost a 100 relative humidity that is completely moyes that slows down the fire but thats going to change again as we get to wednesday into thursday little bit of an offshore wind humidity is really going to fall off probably 20 to 30 guys all right. Thank you laura as well as weve been reporting in the past 48 hours that glass fire ripped through. The napa valley parts of a destroyed dozens of buildings and damaging several historic weiners one of napa county landmarks kron fours dan kerman is live at castello di amorosa tonight. Which suffered a severe fire damage. Dan tell us how bad is is it. Well soon as we can tell you here along highway 29 you can see just how bad the smoke is that alone is not good for wineries wineries that have not only had to deal with covid for much of this year.

If you want to put a figure that i would say its around 4 to 5 Million Dollars luckily, the winerys Main Building tasting room and outdoor terrace survived. As well as its offsite warehouse, they make a living with people come to visit the castle, the castle would have been down we we would have no income for years to come. And so in a way we are lucky. Tuesday was a day of cleaning up and still the winemaking process continues 4050 of all the grapes are harvested but i have to say this is probably the most challenging year for one make in the last 50 years. And because the main part of the castle survived as well as that outdoor tasting room they are telling us that as soon as that Evac
