Watching the local news for So Cal. The fire in OC was an arson fire. I have family in Irvine, near where Denise lives and they too are under evacuation but safe. Very scary stuff. Some new fires overnight too.
Schools in my neighborhood are closed because they are the evacuation centers for the Mailbu fire. The wind is surreal. All the leaves are off my trees and trees are down. Smoke is so thick. Respitory alert. It's sunrise and the winds have kicked up. Expected to gust as high as 80 miles per hour.
