Either @ScottW58 or @buffaloroam or I are closest to the one in Palisades. The fires are far enough from me that I am unconcerned. The smoke is moving away from my direction at the moment, too.
@Winedavid59 Truly, this is zero risk to my house. Can’t even smell the smoke since the wind is blowing the other way.
But speaking of power outages, we just had a short one.
None out this way… yet. We burned good this season already. From the Line Fire, the ash actually damaged the finish on the door nobs/locks on my back patio, which is under a porch.
They have said with the Santa Ana’s that there might be planned and unplanned power outages. Be sure you’ve stocked up
@ScottW58
They all start small…
It’s windy down here too, and I have still fresh memories of 2003 and 2007.
Thankful they were right on it.
You’ve sure got a mess up there, like us from those two I mentioned down here.
One I recall hearing propane tanks venting fire and ammunition popping off only a few blocks away, as that is how close it came to us.
@rjquillin@ScottW58 I’ve never had anything that close to me, living in the flats and all. But be careful up in the hills, Scott - the winds have a way of shifting at night. It would take a lot of it, though, for the flame to hop over 405.
@rjquillin everything is good here. We’ve had power the whole time. Thanks for checking in.
I’m very familiar with the area the Eaton fire burned, used to live not too far from there. That foothill community saw fire just sweep down from the base of the hills and just burn block after block of homes. So sad.
Makes me realize that even though I’m quite far from the base of the hills where these things usually start that in a night like last night even my house would not have been safe at all. Very sobering to watch.

@Cerridwyn scary
We had a 3 acre one down in SD they jumped on very quickly.
@rjquillin
Is 3 acres really a fire? As long as the winds keep blowing towards the ocean we are okay. Fingers crossed.

Looking ugly up there.
@cortot, you avoiding it so far?
