The Santiago fire is about 5-6 miles from my house, so I've kinda been freaking out about this, but everyone says that's far enough for us not to worry about it. We can smell the smoke in the air though.
My roommate and I were up in Santiago Canyon taking pictures yesterday, and we left the area at about 5:15. Somebody told me today that the fire started sometime between 5 and 5:30. I don't know exactly how close it is to where we were, but the whole thing is just freaky.
To add insult to injury, the wind knocked the power out for an hour while I was at work today. Is it weird that my biggest concern is for the power not to go out during prime time tv tonight?
