Update!
Ok...so I'm still here and unburned...but it's pretty damn smoky.
Got a call this morning from my brother that Placerita Canyon (where my parents live--except they're in Ecuador at the moment!) was going to be evacuated due to the oil fields catching on fire. Luckily it was handled by the time I actually got the message, so all was well there.
I watched the huge wall of smoke moving with the high winds and make things darkand pretty miserable outside...we went from clear and sunny (although really windy) to dim and brown in a matter of minutes.
I'm across the valley from all of the fires...it's just nasty and smoky.
I hope everyone else is well!
