How much does natural disasters affect adsense?

    I did not go to my outside job today because of the fires raging in Southern California. ( I live in San Diego County.)

    Locally, I have noticed several computer networks are running slowly (SD County Library, for example) or not at all.

    I have also noticed that my adsense revenue is down so far today and was less then the monthly average yesterday. It has made me wonder how much, if any, the fires in California have changed traffic on the net and if any other similar disasters have caused dips in adsense revenue. Have you noticed any such effects from fires, hurricanes, floods, etc.?? :confused:

    I and mine are fine by the way.

    First off, I hope you are ok and safe from the fire. I'm sure to some extent the fires might hurt revenue, but not noticable to the publisher level.

    yes of course i noticed. in situations like that people dont care about ads. they just want to get the news or do their job quickly. and i think it is quite normal :)
