The smoke is so thick as it drifts towards the west where we live. We're staying indoors because there's white ash all over the place and I'm sure it's not so good breathing in that stuff. I feel for the people, firefighters, etc who are closer to the smoke and ashes than we are.

I cancelled lunch plans for today.. it was mutual.. the air was horrible this morning here.. last I checked not as obviously bad. Tomorrow I have a lunch seminar and then take a friend to a 4pm doc appt and that we will do for sure.

But really, we've not been so affected here, surprisingly, not nearly as much as we were during last year's fires.

Pamy, the way things move in this fire, I'd guess you really will not know until morning.

I hope we see a post from Scooter soon..

FWIW, when the air quality is affected by fires (and if it's visible, such as when ash rains down), people are advised to stay indoors and to limit outside activities. Those with breathing problems, including asthma, are advised to take additional precautions. If there is ash in the air, particulate masks are advised. It can take several days before the air clears completely. Once the winds change direction and become on-shore again, there's also a chance air quality will suffer again. Been there done that twice in the last five years. Which is two times too many.

We haven't had visible ash.. I think it is heading more north of me (unfortunately for Eggie..

I do have a pack of masks I acquired last year, just in case.

My friend has an appt with her cardiologist and I'll just scoope her up, run the A/C in the car and head down to Newport Beach.. and I hope there are no flareups on the fire front, but that won't be known until morning.

Pamy.. one of the TV stations was basically telling people to check in the morning for road closures.

She was evacuated Saturday, but was allowed back in last night. She was in the middle of unpacking the car when last I talked to her. It was, as I well know, a very scary time for them. The schools there are closed, so they didn't go in to work today. If all settles down, hopefully, we'll hear from her directly.

Thanks for the good news, Costa! I'm so dumb. I'm reading here and it suddenly dawned on me when reading Eggie's post that my DH's aunt lives in Yucaipa. She's older and has had heart problems so I know the smoke has to be really bad for her. I'm off to email her daughter.

Watching, I think your aunt was probably out of the smoke and ash zone. We were up in Oak Glen Saturday morning when the Anaheim Hills/Brea fire broke out. Oak Glen is just above Yucaipa and the weather was crystal clear with blue skies. The winds were coming from the east and blowing to the west. We live on the coast near Redondo Beach and really got socked with ash and smoke but it was much better today!

We're covered in a nice little blanket of snow here. To the Southeast, there are a few schools closing early! I guess Winter is officially here.

Foggy, and finally at 10:45, it seems to be lifting. Sunday it never lifted and I was watching True Blood, so I felt like if there were vampires, then they could play all day here.

It's 70 here. And yes, that's Fahrenheit! :-)

Not having the high pressure they expected though, so it's cooler than forecast.

68 and freezing, but it is supposed to get back up to 77 tomorrow. It rained all day, light rain, reminded us of home.
