CA,
I was just thinking about you as my relative called and is breathing in smoke in Dana Point. That fire above you all is apparently a real concern. This is not good. Keep us posted. Our prayers are with you all out there!

We hope the tempuratures go down and the winds definitely go down.

CA and all near fires~

Do you get canyon winds where you are?

We experienced them a few times when we lived in Utah, and they were unbelievably fierce. Fighting a fire in canyon winds must be extremely difficult.

Stay safe-will be thinking of you.

We're not smelling or seeing any smoke, but people north of us are. If you didn't know what was happening, you'd think it was just another gorgeous 90-degree day with clear blue skies. We don't get much wind where we are. We do get winds occasionally, and we did have some yesterday, but very rarely like the winds that are feeding these fires. We are located in what's called the Capistrano Valley, so we have some natural landscape that sort of sheilds us from getting the winds & smoke.

That is so sad Paula. Lucky to be alive though and so happy that the doggies are safe too! My thoughts and prayers are with your cousins and everyone that is affected. The media coverage looks real bad and I hope those darn winds die down real soon.

Take Care CA...
