I don't if it's made the national news, but fire season is upon us again here in the land of fruits and nuts. I was driving around Thursday night for a while, and went and watched the La Canada Flintridge fire when it was only about 500 acres. It's now over 5100 acres, about 5 or 6 miles away from us, and headed in our general direction. No imminent threat yet, but we're gonna stay on our toes this weekend. Our house is the blue marker just above where it says Sunland.
The fire is headed towards Big Tujunga Canyon, the canyon you see to the north and east of our house. It's downhill from its current location to our house, but the winds can drive it any direction. Right now we're just getting a lot of smoke and ash.
Conditions are ripe...hot and dry. It's 80º right now (4:30 AM) here, with humidity in the low 20% range.
Dan and Glenn, are you getting any of the smoke? (I don't know where you are in relation to the Hemet fire, Glenn.)
