Now CNN is reporting two fires on Camp Pendleton.

Looks like they are evacuating most of the canyons in OC and suggesting it to the east, where I fear Beek may be having to leave...

No, I don't live out there anymore and hopefully nothing will happen where I live.. just makes me sick to see the canyon I loved go up in smoke, literally.. But thank you!! We are fine, if a bit warm.. I'm downstairs, all windows shut, with papers trying to block the bottom of the front dood since it faces the winds, and a fan going. Upstairs tends to get some smoke smell.. but I'm in MUCH better shape than so many TVCHers who live closer to smoke and ash. I'm guessing Beekindpleez is closest to danger right now. Haven't seen her post for awhile, no emails. Fingers crossed that they are safe and hopefully won't need to evacuate, but that did look possible.

Seems like another fire near Arrowhead, Cedar Glan.. also two near Temecula but those are apparently being beaten back.

Good luck Beekin. Hope you don't need be gone too long. CNN just said that those three fires were no longer a threat to merge and that the Magic fire was contained. Also said that the Ranch fire was at least held in place for the moment. But I know that could have changed moments after they reported it. Especially if the winds kick up again. Let us know as soon as you can.

I am on the other side of the country, and can't imagine what the residents in Southern California are going through. My heart and prayers go out to all the TVCHers that live there. Random question: my mom is in Anaheim for work. I have looked at some maps that make me wonder if there is any effect there. Can someone give me an idea how far away Anaheim is from the fires? Thanks in advance.

Oops.. well do you know what part of Anaheim?? Address?? The eastern part of Anaheim, Anaheim Hills, would be much closer to fires, than central Anaheim or the Disney Resort area.

Thanks Sea. I am not sure where exactly, I emailed her yesterday (not to mention left her a message on her cell phone voicemail). But she has not answered me (could be because she is busy and/or cell phone service isn't great). My Dad said that she seemed to be okay, not having any breathing problems due to the fires. That is my biggest concern, since she has asthma. I am so sorry to hear what you and fellow Southern Californians are going through. I hope y'all stay safe.

I can imagine, if she has asthma... If you get an address or a company name, let me know and I can locate it on a map.. well I guess you can do that on mapquest, but I can let you know how close that is to fires.

Thanks Sea. I am going to try calling her in a little bit. (I don't want to bother her during a meeting or something.) I will post here if I get that location.

Just talked to her. She is apparently across the street from Disneyland. She said if I heard it was on fire, then worry. She says that the air is making her uncomfortable. She is flying home late tomorrow night.

(((((((Beekind)))))) I'm praying for you. I left a message for a friend who lives in San Diego since I'm not sure exactly where he lives. Another friend lives in the same area as Costa and I'm assuming since they're in the actual city, they're OK. I know 3yrs ago he said the smell of smoke was terrible. I'm praying that's all they're dealing with. I also need to get ahold of my nephew up in the L.A. area. I'm assuming they're OK, except for the smoke. I need to check on my husband's aunt who lives somewhere around Yucaipa. I don't have her current address, but that's where she lived previously and I think she still lives somewhere in the area. This is just awful. Sea.. do you know anything about that area? Thanks.

Oh.. lol.. should have read here first.. well across from Disneyland she should be fine and I'm sure they issued them masks for outdoors if they need that. === Watching.. I'd say Yucaipa would be very smoky. If you do a mapquest, you will see that Yucaipa is "down the hill" from Big Bear and Arrowhead.. lots of fire up near Arrowhead now. They'd get that smoke probably from the winds. They are north of fires in San Diego but right now the wind would be going to the coast. I imagine that Costa's place is also getting smoked out.. I'd worry more about the friend "somewhere" in SD.. And would need more detail on somewhere in LA too.
