My wifes aunt and uncle live in Saugus, right off Boquet Canyon (Santa Clarita area). They have fires on all sides of them. And the back of their house faces a mountain. They've been packed and waiting to run for days, but they're still OK.

A good friend of mine lives in Southern Cali...but she's on a trip for Florida this week so that's a relief. She's worried about what could happen to where she lives and all her family/friends though.
I'm grateful to live in Michigan at the moment.

THe weather here is so strange
The ashy skies are blocking the sun which somehow makes an orange light shine upon everything

Yeah, people don't understand how strange the colors get when you have smoke (rather than regular cloud cover) blocking out the sun. Heres pics I took on my way home from work today to illustrate. All the pics below are unaltered and show the natural colors that I was seeing as I was taking them.
Headed back toward San Diego county. There are no storm clouds in this picture, only smoke plumes from fires.

Once you drive into the smoke everything gets eerie. Your eyes begin to burn a bit and the odor is almost overpowering. Depending on the density and the quality of the smoke overhead the lighting changes dramatically. At times the sun was a brilliant orange ball, other times it was a dull red (last pic) or disappeared completely.

I thought the sky was pretty too... I was riding in my friends car last night just having a moment with the sky. The way the redness of the horizon faded into the black sky was just awesome.

I can see flecks of ash are starting to land on things here. The air is probably going to get pretty nasty before too long. Shit, I hope I don't have to be working outside this week... might cough up a lung

I'm near Glendora, so this is all pretty familiar to me. The Glendora hills went up in flames a couple years ago, everything was under a blanket of ash for a few days.
This is really insane, though... a dotted line of fires stretching from inside of mexico to up north of Ventura/Oxnard.
