I was glad to see Nan posted. We just got back from Ireland and had to drive up through Canyon Country right after lunch Sunday and could see the smoke from the Agua Dulce fire. The wind, dust and rocks blowiing was just amazing. I've lived here all my life and and have never seen Santa Ana winds this strong. Fortunately for us, we live up where the winds are coming from and are in no danger. I just saw on the news that all of Ramona where Nan lives was evacuated. I suspect she will not have internet access for some time. Our prayers and hopes are with you Nan. Keep safe Chris; one could pop up soon near you too.
From what I can tell, many fires were started by downed electric transformers, so that can happen anywhere. Continuing winds are predicted so strong that the air tankers can't work. We just have to hope the winds will abate.
If you saw the news on Malibu, the Ralphs market they show is right by the park we have the LAFF picnic at.
Everyone out there keep safe.
Hopes and prayers
Artemis
