Here is a photo of the smoke plume from the Santiago fire behind the ridge North of Saddleback Mountain ("Santiago Peak"), taken from my front porch:

And looking slightly to the right of the first picture due West of the sun darkened by the smoke:

Sorry, just realized I worded the previous post poorly.

I meant to say that it is a photo of the darkened sun, looking due West.

blech... my town is safe but several friends in surrounding areas were not so lucky. Now they have to sit and wait for insurance companies to fuck them sideways.

Well, I'm not there. I'm in Tokyo. But I grew up there and I also lived there during law school. So it's the closest thing to home that I have. It looks like the worst is probably past. Thanks, though!

So far my home is ok, thanks for asking. I live in Corona, the city at the top of the map below, and the fire is blowing from West to East (Left to right in the map) so as long as the weather doesn't change, I will be ok.

They should install sprinkler systems all over the hillside

What exact grows on those hillsides in SOCAL anyway? Two year old dried Christmas trees and petrol flowers?
