California wildfire forces 1,000 to evacuate

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A wildfire that began along a popular hiking trail forced 1,000 people to evacuate their homes in the hills northeast of Los Angeles on Sunday,........................

Yesterday a little South of us on the freeway a grassfire started along I-5. 30 families are now without homes.

 

I have fires just North of me, South of me, East of me and a town west of me.

 

I also live on the freewayI-80, so my roomate and wnet and watered down the high trees and weeds in the back yard of the guy across the street whose backyard backs up to the freeway. The winds well 40 plus yesterday windy today yet has calmed down tonight.

 

So much smoke in the sky I am wondering how JoniB is doing ,I believe he is in the fire line, I pray he checks in somewhere with us.

 

Here is the latest I hope it works.

Am keeping a closer watch though on the trees across the street that border the freeway. It could spring like the I-5 one did and that would be not fun.
