Stay inside if possible. They are just saying that this smoke is really hazardous to people's health. The reporter in the chopper said he could not believe the thickness of the smoke in the High Desert.
Stay safe and Take Care!

They probably lost some of their access after Chuck Henry's lack of thinking yesterday. His actions put people at risk, and took a ff out of the loop to try and get him out of there. Since so many of these media people run on ego, sometimes they just have to be prevented from being there in the first place.

Hey, I work in the Wells Fargo building at the 405 and MacArthur. My office overlooks the offramp, but there is a parking structure in the way. But I don't see or hear anything unusual.
To: aCookieMomster
I don't think that Apple Valley is being evacuated. I think that the animal shelter there is taking animals from big bear and other areas that are being evacuated.

It's utterly stupid what they're doing. And the pan-overs of the brush fires still say FIRESTORM

Found this on the site for Mt Palomar:

For Immediate Release
October 29, 2003
Palomar Observatory expected to weather firestorm
PALOMAR MOUNTAIN, Calif. The tragic fires that continue to affect San
Diego County remind us all just how fragile life and property can be. Currently fires
are slowly approaching the area of Palomar Mountain, home to the California
Institute of Technologys historic Palomar Observatory
.
Smoke and ash from the fires have put a temporary end to the Observatorys nightly
observations, but the Observatory itself is not threatened. In fact the dome of the
200-inch telescope is a safe place for and has been selected as an evacuation point
for the Palomar Mountain Community .
"The builders of Palomar realized the potential fire danger and designed the 200-
inch Hale Telescope to survive a fire. It is constructed with two layers of concrete
and steel. Also, in recent months our maintenance staff along with foresters have
removed dead and dying trees from the Observatory grounds. We are prepared for
the worst," says Palomar Observatorys superintendent, Bob Thicksten. It doesnt
hurt that the Observatory has its own million gallon water tank, an array of fire
hydrants and staff members who double as volunteer firefighters as well. Thicksten
has worked tirelessly to maintain a working relationship with the local fire
department, the United States Forest Service and the California Department of
Forestry (CDF), which has its own fire station less than half a mile from the
Observatorys main gate.
The Palomar Observatory will issue further press statements as necessary.
