I'm sure it is elsewhere, but speaking from my position. I feel for all those who are becoming homeless today. If I had a mother-in-law attachment to my house I'd house a family...

I felt like I was in fricken Pompeii! Also, it's quite hazy, and the sun is about half obscured.

News is sketchy but what I gather is there are two large fires in Brea/Corona, but the smoke looks a lot worse from where I sit. Due south of me the sky is opaque, quite high and moving more or less west across the southern horizon. It is drifting into the LA County area but I can't tell if any of it is actually LA county on fire. My daughter was on her way to Long Beach (CSULB) and called around 11AM. She was with friends driving through smoke and ash at the 605/5/91 junction. At that time I could see no smoke on the horizon, certainly nothing like right now.

I hope you're safe.

If you want a smoke free place you are welcome to crash my way. Oddly we have had no wind to speak of since all this started. Nary a waft of smoke or hint of ash either. Wish everyone well through this. I hope you are out of harms way. If you want a smoke free place you are welcome to crash my way. Oddly we have had no wind to speak of since all this started.
