Greg, affected by the fires?

[DrEntropy]

I keep hoping not!

Me too

I was very close to getting an evacuation order. I had one day of bad smoke but that was about it. I took this shot down my alleyway on Tuesday. The fire is further than it looks, the flames were just really high. A hundred feet tall at least I'd guess.

 

[Basil]

Wow! Glad you’re safe! Hope it stays away!
What direction is that picture looking?

 

[GregW]

North West. The Riviera Country Club golf course is straight ahead 1 mile. Host of the US open and PGA tours.

Glad it was an ~almost~ evac!

Frightening photo. Fire scares th' p*ss outta me. Two scares as a kid. Even the slightest smell of smoke from an unidentified source puts me on high alert.

Good to hear you're in the clear Greg. I have a good friend who had to evacuate. She is bivouaced up in Lancaster.

 

[GregW]

My friend and co worker's entire build is now ash (the fireplace still stands). His daughter started a go fund me page that has raised $30K for him so far.

What's the latest? Still seeing fire warnings around the place.
