1970 - A nineteen month drought in southern California came to a climax. The drought, which made brush and buildings tinder dry, set up the worst fire conditions in California history as hot Santa Anna winds sent the temperature soaring to 105 degrees at Los Angeles, and to 97 degrees at San Diego. During that last week of September whole communities of interior San Diego County were consumed by fire. Half a million acres were burned, and the fires caused fifty million dollars damage.

Fords Branch is an unincorporated community located in Pike County, Kentucky, United States. It was settled by Joseph Ford and his family just following the American Revolutionary War. Ford was a lieutenant in the North Carolina militia; his descendants still live there. Captain William Ford served during the Civil War and named Fords Branch for his wife, Malinda McGee Ford. The original name of Malinda Ford's Branch was shortened when the US Post Office was established in January 1903.
