I heard a Hawthorne police officer saying he had worked 28 straight hours up in Santa Clarita. Apparently a whole squad of officers from Torrance, Hawthorne, El Segundo, etc. were on that long. Either forgotten or not having replacements.

Winds are low now, they've got to do it now while the winds cooperate.
Duncan Hunter will be on KUSI in the next few minutes, once Joe Lizura ends his weather cast.

National Guards C130s coming from NC, WY, and CO. Thank you, North Carolina, Wyoming, Colorado. CO planes will be in CA at 1430 PST, to be based at Point Mugu naval base north of LA, on the coast, in Ventura County). These 130s can spread retardant 1/4 mile wide.

Looked like they’d died down this morning. But last time I looked on FNC, gusts were between 30 and 40 MPH, though that’s much better yesterday.

My son sent me an text message at 4:03 AM. He indicated the fire was moving into Spring Valley. He lived on Dictionary Hill for almost a year. It was so hard on his car that he had a major clutch/transmission job covered under warranty. He has since moved to downtown San Diego. I'm still catching up on status this morning.

OMG! I am watching the MOST hilarious “off camera” moment- on the local FOX station- they went to a commercial- but they left the studio camera ON the desk- the woman news reader put her head down on the desk- then the make-up/hair gal came in and started fiddling with the newsman’s HAIR- brushing, combing with can of hair spray at the ready- WHAT A HOOT! :)

I didn’t, I am watching the local tv news, Ch 9. The gal is out at Qualcomm showing how organized things are, and focusing on all the volunteers showing up.

Excellent news on the C130s. Thx!
Just getting back online here.. Let’s hope they can lay a few big wet ones on the fires or at least the houses.. and save what they can.
Prayers for all those on the ground and in the air doing all they can to save and protect who and what they can in a massive SoCal FiRestorm. It takes a lot of fuel to feed beasts like what we are witnessing.
