It's just awful here right now. I was sitting at a soccer tournament and watched what I now know is the Corona/Yorba Linda fire start. It was soooo windy and what was a little plume of smoke became massive in minutes. Stay safe fellow So Cal friends.

How awful!

Yes, please be cautious, and stay safe......I'm thinking of you all, and hoping that these fires soon come to an end.

Air quality is finally getting a bit better. Firefighters are starting to take the fight to the fire now that the winds have died down.

Just part of our four seasons.....draught, fire, earthquake, mudslides.
