I can see a lot of smog over eastern part of Los Angeles County. The wind is blowing this way.

Rising sun was blood red this morning.

I think religious psychos start fires on full moons.

2013 was the driest year ever in Los Angeles. Only 3.6 inches of rain.
Records have been kept since 1877.

2013 was the driest year ever in Los Angeles. Only 3.6 inches of rain. Records have been kept since 1877.

The 1864 drought, which devastated the cattle industry upon which Southern California's economy was based, was the worst in our history. This followed a rainy season that brought massive flooding to the Southland.

The historic Singer (sewing) Mansion has burned to the ground. I have never seen a fire this aggressively fought with water-drop helicopters.

That's a saving grace here. It could have been much worse. There is a concern as the day goes on however that the winds could kick up.

Yep, the ass clowns do this every year, they see the high winds and think “Perfect, time to start a fire” a few days ago there was a fire in Pacific Palisades about 10 min from my cousins house but they put it out before it could do any damage..they havent said what the cause was but my guess, arson..I’m all for the cutting off the hands of these arsonists, I think that is a pretty good punishment for them
