I can smell the burning in the air right now, as well as the heat, and I'm far away from the actual fire.

damn fire seasons

I live in Anaheim, the air quality right now is horrible. It's also very hot. The only thing to do is close all door and windows and turn on the fan/air conditioner.

That's the opposite of where I live. It's freezing cold so the heater is on. The air quality is fantastic from all of our trees and dry cold weather. At least we both keep our doors closed

.

Hope the fires don't claim too many people's houses.

Solution: Move to North California. Virtually no wildfires, less pollution, less illegal immigrants, though San Francisco is literally gay.

And contribute to White Flight?

NEVAR!

Oh and we're always on fire. And it's always rich people's houses, who are always insured up the ass.

Some pictures if you guys are interested.

The ash is all over the place, even though im about 5 miles from the fire at the moment.

The smoke darkened the skies so heavily that the street lights turned on.

is there any chance that someone can find a list of the highways that are closed down? One of my friends just called me trying to get from irvine to northern la- apparently at least highway 91 is closed down.

I'm in irvine, other than the air being dry, everything is good. by tomorrow all of the smoke and ash should get here><;;
