Southern California is Burning

The smell of smoke is really revolting as it has been in our nostrils for two days. The brown haze is on all the horizons and people losing their homes by the hundreds now. The reports are not good as the high winds are fanning the flames through the end of the day today carrying embers miles and miles.  Really no safe place with hills and brush right now until the winds go away. Fire fighters don't know where to draw lines because the direction could change quickly.  Up near where my daughter and grand children live (they have been evacuated) the fire is so hot the pine trees are exploding as all the moisture is drawn out instantanly.  I heard a report the Chargers may play their 'home" game in Arizona this week.  San Diego county has been hit really hard.  This time of year is always horrible but this year the fires all started nearer to structures than ever.  Many are because of arson.  Could have been worse as we actually had about an 1.5 inches of rain this month.
