gategrrl I'm in the La area, in the San Fernando Valley, and we're okay here.
The Santa Clarita fires are North of us by about fifteen miles, I think? We can smell the smoke, and see the smoke when it blows this way, but that's about it. I'm not sure how far the fires are from our location, but I'm pretty sure they won't reach this far. However, that doesn't mean that in my head, I'm not mentally packing what I want to rush into the cars when/if it comes time to leave.
There were some nasty fires last year that left lots of ash and smoke and stuff all over the Valley, at least in our section of it. It's going to happen again this year.
I wasn't even quite aware of the fires until the voracious news coverage finally leaked through my "I hate LA News" net, and saw some entries on LJ about it. Yeah, pitiful, but if you lived here, you'd know how awful the news is most of the time. Awful and fluffy and completely bad and celebrity centered. Nat and Chet of Boston, where are you when we need you?
