CM,

Your pics remind me of some fires a few years back. For three days it "snowed" ashes for three days and the sun looked the same.

Sara, If you have a humidifier - Plug that sucker in! The wind will dry you out.


I have two sisters, two BIL's, a niece, her husband and her two kidlets.


ONe sister has checked in and is OK.....I was at my mom's when she called.

Mom: "Are you guys OK? You didn't burn?"
Sis: "NO we are OK..."
Mom: "So you got toasted?"
Sis: "ALMOST!"

Randi,

One report from FOX NEWS said that the Firemen were too busy trying to get people to evacuate to get to the fires.

Earlier their was a report about LAFD Station 70-They were parked next to the station, fighting flames that were threatening the station.
