No fires "near" Marcie, from what I know.

The winds are so strong that if you live within 2-3 miles of an active fire, AND you live near any open vegetation, you need to be concerned because ashes/hot embers are triggering new fires. The fire nearby me, called the Santa Rosa Valley Fire, is contained and the wind is blowing the smoke the other way now but the smell is thick.

The roads in Malibu are closed so the traffic is diverted onto the Ventura Freeway - which is our main route in/out of our area.

It's going to be a wild and wooly week with high temperatures, dry conditions and lots of wind.
