my dad lives in Santee tucked up against a mountain. Luckily there isn't anything near him...Lakeside fire is closest. This is the worst I ever remember wrt sheer numbers, but I recall some very scary ones when I lived in Pasadena. Coming out to everything covered in ash and the sun being smothered at noon by smoke is pretty spooky.
Jim, was down near the water in SM last night. Small but perfect conditions. It's funny because I remember when the winds hit on Saturday afternoon my first thought was, "hmm, wonder if a swell is running." Normally we pray for santa anas. But this one didn't work out so well. Hope you guys are all safe.
Watched a bit of footage of a DC-10 doing fire drops up here. Amazing...
