We are fine so far, fires still far away. We just have lots of smoke and soot in the air, hard to breathe and my eyes are burning so bad I couldnt wear contacts or makeup to wk today.

SR: per CBS, west of 5 fwy/Big Moor Canyon (sp) just south of Pyco Canyon Road, east slope. thick vegetation flames went through quickly.

fire trying to make itself eastwood, but fortunately wind mild.

strike teams making sure fire doesn't back down hill. protecting against the hot ambers.

"Apparently absent of winds, sort of gave firefighters a false sense of security" (again, not sure what this means....just a direct quote from the news).

ff's burning away fuel with backfires right now.

again, ff's ready to save structures. so, in comparison to the other fires SR is very safe (again relatively speaking, of course).

ff's still think all homes will be ok in sr.

This is the Helicopter that came down and took water from the duck pond at the golf course to the right of us for the flames behind us.

That burning bush was part of the fire break that had burned the day before that saved the area when a hot spot popped up last night.

Yeah, Seamonkey..not that I mind...just that I'm the worst ever!

You are the live feed queen (BB). I don't know how you do it. If I were a real reporter, I would have been fired first hour!

Hang in there Moon, Weiner and all the others who are anywhere near this!! Under the right conditions, the fronts of such fires can move at upwards of 70 mph. And as Moon has pointed out, the embers can be carried for miles by the winds, starting fires in places you'd never think could happen.

My thoughts are with each and every one of you!!
