Southern California Fire

[apexjr]

Yep... I'm here...
This is so stressfull, I work out of my house which is on Orange Ave and this morning at 2:30 police were evacuating
which were the wrong directions, HOWEVER this afternoon we had a Mandatory evacuation. So I took out of the house
most all of my life and brought to my warehouse in Verdugo City and hope I got everything.
Since the STATION fire is so big we in La Crescenta were not getting drops of water because La Canada and Acton
seem to take Priority. Governor was close and hasn't helped much...

I've been in this house for 31 years and haven't had any problems...'Hoping all goes well.

Roger, Yes, I'm also trying to move my warehouse to Torrance and this has taken a Priority.
AND, Thanks for asking

Good luck Steve. I remember coming to your house back in '99. I really can't visualize that sort of threat being so close to your home, at least not the way I remember it. But then, I'm also not used to thinking about things being so dry; we have something like 85% humidity here. Wish I could send some your way.

Hopefully I've done this right

THANKS ... Roger and JR...
Things are a little better, the fire has moved over to Sunland-Tujunga and top of Briggs and
thats where the fire planes and helicopers are going. Don't get me wrong there are flareups
by me and still very smokey and yesterday had a mandatory evacuation and had to take the
computer and all paperwork, invoices and everything from the business to the warehouse.

Roads are closed from Lowell to Ocean View from Santa Carlotta and Orange North ( Roger you'll
know how far that is) Also not sure about the Ananda Ashrama but know that thay have had
major problems at the top of Pennsyvania.

They were going to do a backburn at Dukmejian Park but decieded not to and have brought in
tanks of water so that the helicopter to pick up and not go to Castacic Lake.

I brought back the computer and am on it with a mask on.

I suspect to be fine.

Yes, back in my house and brought all the business stuff back...
Cops have left and letting people thru now.

Still smokey here but no close fires.

They did a backburn by the Ashram and it was saved.. They were almost sure Mt Wilson
couldn't be saved and glad they were able to save the towers there and at Mt Lukins too.

Thanks for asking, I was really surprised at how many people called or emailed me.

Steve -

Have the smoke levels dropped down some since your last report? How close did it wind up getting to you? Your photo only looked to be a couple of miles.
