dwgmWell, people, I'm now watching rather active flames crawl down the mountain in our direction. It's a bit distracting when one is trying to shuffle papers. Wish I had my digital camera.
ETA: I am informed that they've lit a back fire in an effort to cut the path of the main fire, which has been making it's way over from Oak Park.
Just another interesting day in sunny California (or it would be sunny if it weren't for all the smoke).

Date: 2005-10-01 08:19 pm (UTC)There was a picture in the L.A. Times today of a nice house surrounded by green lawn in Box Canyon, and the landscape was burned to a crisp all the way around it, clear up to the edges of the property. Amazing that the house was spared.
Yeah, all that brush is bigger because of the rain, but it still gets dried out come fall. But maybe we'll get some rain pretty soon, which would lessen the chances of more fire. I've seen years where they predicted terrible brushfires, and because we got early rain it never happened.
Interesting place, Southern California.
