How are the rest of you Simites doing? PING
Hi Heels - You're right. Last time the fires primarily took out the areas to the west, north and east. This time it's getting the areas that weren't burned last time.
Getting back to Simi from LA yesterday I took the 5 - 126 - Fillmore - Moorpark route. Speed limit all the way, but the traffic going the opposite direction was terrible. Moorpark to Fillmore northbound was bumper to bumper all the way -- at least 1.5 hours for that stretch alone. There must be a lot of people who commute from the San Fernando Valley to Ventura County for work.
Bunch of them work here. Thought we were going to have to have a company slumber party last night. Some took as long as three hours to get home.
These are the homes on the hillside south of Yosemite and Katherine. Couple of blocks south from where we live. About 3 - 4 PM. Everything's OK today (except for the occasional burnt smell when the wind changes. But it was a pretty tense 4 hours yesterday afternoon!
