Fire in Southern California..... [View all]

There's a big fire off the 91 Freeway, near Anaheim (I think). This is a photo of what the sky looks like just now out some 30 miles from there. There's ash falling and the smokes makes it harder to breathe.

My hope is that the folks having to evacuate are doing so safely.
