Saddleridge fire-This is the sort of scheisse that makes me glad Hugh sold his place

I hope it is not too windy down there, but judging by how the palm trees look in the picture, I kind of think it is not good, bordering on very not good. Hills, covered by tinder dry grass. 800 acres an hour sounds like a lot. I bet the sunset was spectacular. In 1989, the night of the earthquake, the view from the roof of my apartment building as the sun set was, apocalyptic.

Quote:
The fire broke out around 9 p.m. Thursday near the 210 Freeway at Yarnell Street in Sylmar, amid 50 mph wind gusts and humidity as low as 3 percent. The flames swept west and south after jumping the 5 Freeway, spreading into the “northernmost reaches” of Porter Ranch. It burned at a rate of 800 acres per hour.
