I spoke to my husband, who is working up in the Long Beach area today, and he said the sky was pitch black in front of him on his drive.

I've been too busy to look at the news much today but, so far in OC, we've just got really hot Santa Ana conditions, like a furnace. Seriously.

These fires usually always start up around us, eventually. Last year we had the Silverado Canyon fire burning on one side, flames visible from our home, with the Pendleton fire on the other side. The school district closed down. We had black skies and raining ash for weeks.
