Firestorm is a personal narrative, written by the author after he escaped with his family at midnight when their home and the region were suddenly engulfed in the 2017 Sonoma County Tubbs Fire - one of the most destructive wildfires in California history. In just a few hours, the fire destroyed more than 5,600 structures, with 22 people perishing in its wake. This volume of vignettes captures the terror, confusion, anger, loss, impotence and disconnection wrought by the North Bay Fires on one couple and their community and, ultimately their resolve and hope. Jon Humboldt Gates is the author of Night Crossings and Falk's Claim, two book based on historical maritime and timber industry events that took place on California's North Coast. Jon is 5th generation native of Northern California, a travel writer, music producer, business journalist and co-founder of the international market research firm, OTR Global.
