Southern California fires!
Nov. 17, 2008 Filed in: Personal
Well it’s certainly been an interesting weekend. Fire season has officially become the ‘norm’ here in SoCal and, once again, the area was burning over the weekend.
Fires started last week in Montecito which is near Santa Barbara. Then, separate fires kicked up in Sylmar, Corona, Anaheim, Yorba Linda, Carbon Canyon and Brea. I’m sure I’ve missed a couple of city names in there so sorry if you live there and I did.
After a weekend of fire storm watching on TV, I’m done. If you’d like information, the OC Register has been doing a great job of updating news and even has a page that pulling Twitter updates from those in OC giving info. I posted a couple photos of what the fire looked like from my place here. Lucky for me, it wasn’t as close to me this time and the wind was carrying the smoke in the other direction. The smell of smoke however was all over Southern California.
I have to say we have the best firefighters in the world! These guys are awesome and did such a great job over the weekend. If you see a firefighter, say thanks!
