So Cal Fires
Driving home from a detail class today had to exit the freeway that was closed due to the fires in Yorba Linda.

Yes, it never seems to end. Mid november and 100 degree winds blowing out of the East at 40 mph at 5% relative humidity.
I'm in San Diego and last year we had it here (among other places) and three years ago as well. Unbelievable!
But the wind is shifting back around (which, despite our human "can do" attitude, is the ONLY thing that will stop these fires) so hopefully things will settle down in a few days.
To those in that area, prayers and best wishes!

A lot of you good folks stood by me last year when the fires came thru my neighborhood. It was 10 days of hell. These fires are north of us and they are really big.
Prayers for those north of us and we hope the weather settles down so San Diego doesn't turn into another mess.

Thanks guys. Im the city north of the fires but have club members who live in the areas and they are safe. Very strange to see all the freeways shut down.

We had a little SoCal chapter BBQ yesterday, I snapped a couple of smoke pics - we were about 20mi to the sw of the fire in Ed's pictures.
This was at around 10:30 am or so:

12:30 when I took this one:

You can see the smoky haze in the background of this picture of Ron's beautiful '54:

Smoke covered the sky by 2:30:

Let's hope the weather gives the folks that are trying to get a handle on this a bit of a break. Humidity levels have been in the single digits, and it's unusually hot for this time of year - even for here.
