So Cal Fires!!!

[laughlaugh18]

Late this afternoon a new fire broke out near Magic Mountain. There are at least 14 burning across southern california. It is so extradordinarily dry and windy (the Santa Anas are blowing like crazy). I'm in the San Fernando Valley and the entire skyline to the north and west of me is eerily smoky and glowing. Here is a really good interactive map showing where all the fires are: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...9&source=embed You can drag it around to see all the fires in all the different parts of So Cal.

The good news is that we have the best firefighters - ever. And lots of evacuation plans for big animals. Wish us all luck tomorrow - the winds continue and it's supposed to be hotter than today!

p.s., celebrity coverage is the normal course for us. It's mentioned in passing along with all the other stories about "normal people". Gotta love lala-land.
