ya, hope everybody here escaped relatively unscathed and safe. I heard they shot and killed one of the arson suspects as he tried to ram through some officers' cars with his car. The sky right now is like a mix of orangish grey in Redondo and it smells like smoke. Its crazy.

another fire map:

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...,2708820.story

In the fourth day of Southern California's massive battle with wildfires, officials welcomed better weather and shifted their attention to arson investigations and still-threatening blazes in Orange and San Diego counties. One man, who police said was acting suspiciously in brush near Cal State San Bernardino, was shot and killed. Another was arrested after allegedly setting a quickly extinguished fire in Hesperia.

In Riverside County, officials said investigators had determined that the 411-acre Rosa blaze in Temecula was intentionally set. Authorities had already said that a nearly 20,000-acre fire in Orange County was set by an arsonist, and today investigators from the FBI and county agencies were gathered near the intersection of Santiago Canyon and Silverado Canyon Roads.

"It's definitely arson and it's been deemed a crime scene," said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.




and niki, that should be a-ok! let me know if it changes

Couple guys from my car club got evacuated...one refused. He has horses and dogs and just wouldn't leave. So far so good.

Have a couple other guys in the club that are in the fire department that went down to help.

Best of luck to all you guys.


Side note....I didn't realize it was pushing out to Redondo...damn. I used to live there.

I got these from a friend I worked with over the summer. His sister works at Oakley in Irvine (foothill Ranch):

Oakley Offices:








Oakley building at the end of the day. Notice how much more and closer the smoke is.
