Fires


The fires going on down here have been crazy. It is really sad all the homes/businesses that have been destroyed already and everyone that has been evacuated. We are few hours away from the San Diego fires, but the fire in Malibu is like 30 miles south of us and there is a fire in Piru/Fillmore that is 20 miles east of us. The smoke is intense and there is ashes in the air and on top of that it has been really hot. Some of our co-workers didn't come to work today because they were waiting to be evacuated. It's really sad. Hopefully they are able to contain the fires soon.

This picture is from our apartment looking toward the ocean. Those aren't clouds but smoke from the fire. That is at about five o'clock this evening.
