 "Afternoon summer winds through Carquinez
Strait, across Suisun Bay and up the course of the Sacramento are most
intense in mid- to late afternoon but diminish an hour or two after sunset
when the hot, rising air mass above the solar-heated interior valleys begins
to cool. These were the conditions at 10:30 PM the evening of July 17, 1944
when a massive explosion at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine changed the
course of history."
