More evacuations and new fires
As temperatures and winds again rise, officials say containment of major blazes is days away at the earliest. An estimated 1,000 homes have been lost in San Diego County.
There sure is a lot of conflicting info about what the winds are doing — I guess that’s the nature of the Santa Anas and depends on exact location.
KUSI 9: 325000 (three hundred twenty five thousand) homes have been evacuated. If you multiply that by a minimm of 2 people per househould, we are looking at about 3/4 of a million people evacuated.....probably closer to a million + people.
Ernest and All.... From L.A. just north of Culver City (can see LAX activity from here), the smoke to the south is by far the worst.
By now, we can smell the smoke here and the sunlight is a dark yellowish haze. Most of our sky is smokey now, makes me think wind is changing direction. Fine black ash on the cars....
WOW!! I have lived in Los Angeles ( Eagle Rock) all my life. I will be 66 in several weeks. I cannot believe the intensity of these fires and winds! Ironically, we have hardly felt a breeze. It IS hot here today though.
