I had to travel the long way home last night due to two highway closures from separate fires. Here are pics from last night and today.

This Morning
John are u going to be o.k.?
In other news from SoCal, James Walker was causgt with an actual tool doing actual work.
Good job James, shows us young uns how it's done!

The fire will have to burn down most of Santa Paula to get to my house. The water supply is up the hill from me, so I'll have water pressure to fight fire with. No problem!
On the down side, the Adelphia cable head end is somewhere in those flames on South Mountain. No Cable, no news coverage. So much for Adelphias commercials where they extoll the virtues of cable, and denigrate the dish! "The dish goes out in bad weather". Phooey! The cable goes out everytime the wind blows, or a little fire springs up.
The sad thing about his fire is people live on that mountain. And there are oil wells up there, too. I hope everybody got out

No oil in my property, that's across the valley a couple of miles. It looks bad for Ventura County right now
Its freaking hot in the Valley today. 85F at 9am & the winds are blowing :nonono:
Damn....hope they can contain it, soon.
Sorry bad joke on my part.

It's somewhat closer now
Damn! News from the fire front. The route home for you must have been interesting last night. I took the 5 all the way and it was really smokey in places.
Now we have reports from the fire front. It looks as if the prevailing wind is blowing away from where you are shooting from judging by the smoke. I guess I'll have to call my brother in Ojai and see what's happening in his neck of the woods.

We have a cabin up in Lake Arrowhead... a friend who was up there in their cabin yesterday was evacuated. I have no idea if either of our cabins is still standing, but I have a feeling by the time this is over, they won't be =(

Pat, the wind is blowing the fire west down the Santa Clara river bed. No reports of fire in Ojai, and the sky looks clear in that direction.
Fire is now les than 1.5 miles from my house. Some homes on South Mountain have been destroyed. The area around Moorpark college had a rough time last night. I will update when I have more news.
Dude.....1.5 miles really dont seem that far from the pic u took
Think 5 miles is too freaking close.
Think 5 miles is too freaking close.
The fire has blown west down the riverbed, and is no longer a threat to Santa Paula.
:beer: Good News :beer:

ya man this morning is crazy if you go outside you can see the ashes falling and its like everybody is having one big ass bbq. its like fog but its smoke its crazy
i have quite a few friends that live around the san bdno mtn area so i've been pretty busy since last night. helped my g/f evacuate from her house in lake arrowhead to her parents house down the hill last night (berj, the lake area seems ok so far. it's getting close to rim forest and crestline though. w/ all the dead trees it'll spread fast if it gets up higher .). helped my best friend get his elderly mom out to a family member's house from north san bdno. saw that the house i had before i moved to riverside two years ago was one of the ones lost in the fire. you could barely see 50 yards due to the smoke and it was windy as hell. very gusty like little mini tornadoes. dogs that were probably left behind or got scared were roaming the streets in packs. pretty sad...
