- Actually, since the normal (non-storm) wind pattern in the So. Bay is
- from the bay, through the valley, out into the central valley. East
- bay pollution does affect our air quality.

- Actually the BAAQMB is claiming that the pollution was lower than
- predictions because they got the word out to people to pollute less
- (e.g. drive less, not have BBQs, etc) and they did. I don't know what
