You can have some of mine...
In short, the Santiago Canyon fire in Orange County, CA., is about four miles from my house.
Last nite, I watched the flames advance over two ridges in 20 minutes, driven by 40 mph winds. I grabbed my bug-out pack and spent the night at SWMBO's house.
Fortunately, the OCFA managed to hold the line at Portola Parkway -3.5 miles away-, but the winds haven't let up, and other areas of Irvine are at risk. I'm back home with some of my stuff, but keeping a watch on developments.
The skies are yellow and gray, the sun is red, the air is ful of smoke and ash.
