California - San Fernando Fires

[marmie]

Raul and I were out today and I got a few pictures of the Porter Ranch fire. We have fires to the East and West of where we live. The winds are whipping and the smell of smoke is awful.

Those pictures are incredible. They look like something you'd see on the news. I can't believe you are so close to the fires that you could actually see that. Scary does not seem to be enough of a word! Take care and be safe. I'm sending good thoughts.

[LadyOhh]

Wow... I saw it on the news, but...

Wow.

Be safe, please..

I would be a little intimidated seeing all that smoke so close! Hope it stays away from you guys!

Don't spend too much time outside! I was almost evacuated during the Santiago Canyon fire, it was pretty close to where I live. I got super sick from all the ash in the air, it was not fun

I know and the horrible train wreck a few weeks ago is only a couple miles away from the Porter Ranch fires.

Thanks all for your well wishes. We live at the base of the hills in the middle of a fairly large housing track so I don't see us getting in any trouble. We are more worried about the animals so we've pretty much locked ourselves in and are running several hepa filters. I do feel bad for our rats that are in the greenhouse because they are smelling it big time.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We have 4 hepa filters going(I always have one in the snake room) so its feeling better in the house. I brought my tortoises inside too.
