This morning was crazy. Moved the car out of the garage, and you see the ash floating in the air like snow. As I parked the car in the back parking lot of our place, it created more flotaing ash, like moon dust everywhere. I put the girls on lock down in the house, with the central A/C. Don't want them breathing this crap!

Here's a pic I took less than an hour ago from the LA area:

 

[Stic-o]

Went to Santa Barbara to get some parts and alot changed why we gone

Fire grew about 3 miles closer! I'm looking at flames on the Mtn. from my bedroom window as I type!

They are doing mandatory evacuations, a little over a mile from us. The wild will shift back again tonight, and that is when the danger comes. If we get Embers, we'll have fire in our backyard. The hiil side behind us as been water down most of the day, we have about 200ft of hose in the complex if needed. We are also going to get some important paperwork togeter if we're asked to leave.

getting a little too close

Bill was asking me in a PM, about a map that has a blue line that the fire fighters would like to keep the fire inside of. After looking at the map...I find we're on the fire side of the line

[Tbars4]

...They were talking to Las Vegas on the radio and the smoke has now traveled over there...They were concerned about the So Cal people getting home as the smoke at the passes is creating limited visibility...

...There are currently 9 major fires burning in Calif. including Yellowstone...There must be a breeze today because it looks horribly nasty along the foothills all the way to Big Bear...

...They also say that the 911 dispatch has been backed up from all the idiots calling 911 to ask where the smoke is coming from...
