California - San Fernando Fires

Oh man that is very scary. I hope you, Raul and your family stays safe. Be careful, I'm sure that smoke will wreck havoc on your breathing!

Be careful and stay safe...that smoke can be bad...

I remember last year before I moved, the smoke from the San Diego fires drifted all the way up to Long Beach...ash was coming down like snow, even that far away...

is it because of the lack of rain? i haven't even heard about these fires, i'm going to look them up now.

Stay safe!

We are on fire . . . again! We woke up this morning to the smell of smoke and turned on the TV to see the hills above our house on fire. For those of you familiar with California we live in Granada Hills and the fires are about a mile away. We live deep in a residential area and don't have any open fields near us. The local High School one block over from us is an evacuation center.

Raul is out of town so I'm keeping tabs on the house. I'm not worried about our house but I feel so sorry for those that have lost their homes. This is called the Sayer fire and so far 165 homes have been damaged.

To top it all off it's over 90 degrees out and the winds are whipping like crazy!

I went outside to take a few pictures around 7:00 a.m. as the smoke started coming over the house.
