Just learned about Santa Ana winds in California. Such phenomenon is unknown to us in Central Europe where strong winds originate offshore, thus increase humidity.
Yup it happens when they suck the tanks dry and then refill them the new water coming in stirs up all the stuff that has settles out since the last time it ran dry. Same thing if you ever see people flushing the fire hydrants, do NOT wash your clothes for a day or two to let everyone else get the stuff out of the lines for you.

All joking aside...
At least YOU did have a home to come back to. And I presume you and your loved ones are safe and sound.
