1. Kick

No fires by me (Agoura/Calabasas area.)

[yewberry]

2. I was wondering about you.

Thanks for letting me know!

[Capn Sunshine]

10. stay alert Ellen

There's fresh fire above Mulholland near Piuma Road. @ 7:00 pm.
If you're near Calabasas highlands near upper Mulholland, watch out. If you're near Las Virgenes, it could come that way as well.

VERY smoky in my neck of the woods (Sunset Hills, Thousand Oaks) Fire was about 5 miles away at one point but it's out they said.
There's something N of Fillmore that is making tons of smoke.
Our trailer in Paradise Cove is on watch but no immediate threat.

12. My STBX and son

are on Las Virgenes but north of 101.

Nothing going on there yet.

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. where are you getting your information?

I'm looking around but can't find more on this mulholland fire.

3. I am in Bakersfield, no smoke here but a lot of wind earlier

and thankfully, no fires.

[yewberry]

5. Glad to hear it.

Thanks.

4. I don't know if there are any Malibu Loungers.

I was out in the Valley today and you can easily see the smoke rising above the north hills.

My best to all involved.

[yewberry]

6. Thanks for sharing your experience.

And for kicking this thread!

[huskerlaw]

7. I'm fine!

I live in the Valley, work downtown...our air quality is horrible, but there's no fire near me.

[yewberry]

18. Good, good.

Thanks for checking in.

8. in the belly of the beast

San Diego-
Fire to the N - the E and the S - West is the ocean (duh) We are about 7 miles inland. Our house is okay for now - no flames in sight but lots of smoke.
We are about a mile from Qualcomm Stadium where the main evacuation site is. We have our stuff loaded in case we are told to leave.

[yewberry]

19. Glad to hear that you're prepared.

I've particularly noticed your and KW's posts about the danger--please do all you can to be safe.

[devilgrrl]

9. I'm fine.

But I'm very depressed about all of this. :-(

[yewberry]

20. It's very sad.

Glad to hear that you're fine, and I hope for the best for all of the people and animals in harm's way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. I'm OK...my daughter and her family are in Castaic...

The last I heard they were OK...

[yewberry]

21. Best wishes to you and your family

muffin.

(I hope all remains for you all.)

[Initech]

13. I'm in the North OC / Riverside area

The winds are really fucking bad here.

[yewberry]

22. Thanks for checking in.

I guess the wind direction makes all the difference in the world right now.

It's so strange--Seattle has pretty much set into the soggy autumn. We finally had a sunny day here, and it's a little hard to get my mind around such dry weather.

[KitchenWitch]

14. Orange County here

We are safe.

We were close to being evac'd last night.

[yewberry]

23. Thanks, KW.

I was watching your posts last night and worrying.

It sounds like things have changed a bit, and I hope you stay safe.

[KitchenWitch]

26. I will turn tail and run at a moment's notice if need to.

I promise.

[yewberry]

27. I hear that.

I live in Seattle.

Tsunami/earthquake/lahar/eruption=immediate retreat.

(If the roads & bridges are passable, that is. Ha.)

[XemaSab]

15. Santa Barbara

No worries here unless a new fire starts.

It's not windy here at all though, so we wouldn't have the problems much of the rest of SoCal is having. Hopefully.

[yewberry]

24. Thanks, XemaSab.

I hope you stay safe.

16. Safe as a bug in a rug

I live in the shadow of the Mighty CaliforniaPeggy. No harm will ever befall those who live in her shadow.

[yewberry]

25. We all need a champion.

Why not Peggy?

(Glad to hear you're safe.)
