There is a large fire in the Santa Clarita Area of Los Angeles County....if you are in SoCal, that is the very large smoke clouds to the north.

mailing group chatter:

"Just talked to fire officials. Winds are 20-25 miles per hour. They are lighting backfires at Littlerock Dam, but said it was going to be really tough to hold it there. Pray for the best. We have taken our horses and goats out. We are taking irreplaceables to another friends this afternoon. Then I will feel comfortable that if the evacuation call comes for us, we can leave without panic."

---
"the wind gage here is showing wind directly out of the south gusting between 17 and 24 miles per hour. there are bits of fire flaring up quite near the original fire site, but higher on the hills, as well as along the ridge line toward little rock. oops, 27 miles an hour.

our friends who were evacuated yesterday have been allowed back into their home. i had just started to answer email yesterday afternoon when the phone rang about the compulsory evacuations.

what we learned yesterday: if it looks like folks have to be evacuated today, and they need help, try and get to them BEFORE the compulsory order comes - they weren't even letting home owners go back up alyso canyon yesterday afternoon. the acton evacuation drill worked, though, and people's animals were evacuated even when they couldn't get home to do it themselves. its been a good community effort in pretty tough circumstances."

Sounds like they're going for the vegetation fire first. Motor home's fully engulfed.

That's reassuring that they're ready to evacuate.

I couldnt find any water readings on Little Rock Dam....I guess Palmdale water district owns it. It isnt listed on the state site, where you can read levels.

A bunch of fire units code 3 to Home Depot canceled, fire was put out by civilians. Engine 65 is delayed by traffic, wherever it's going.
