I'm just over the Santa Monica Mountains from you and the Santa Anas have calmed here -- hope they're quiet where you are. Best of luck. There are few things as frightening as going to bed not knowing whether you'll have to evacuate your home before morning.
Don't be troubled by stupid, clueless, small-minded posters. Their numbers have increased here lately but they're not worth the energy spent responding to them.
Thank you, sir!
