Fires in SoCal
Well, woke up this morning to the winds blowing up in Anaheim Hills after our Halloween party in Long Beach. My asthma started acting up, of course, because of the winds blowing stuff (dust, smoke, etc.) around. Took allergy medication and my inhaler and we headed for home. Bruce said that the car was pushed at times by the wind. We stopped in Old Town Temecula for brunch at Mad Madeline's Grill. Their burgers were great. Then on down the road finally getting home around 1:30. Unloaded the car and started unpacking and putting things away when I looked out the patio door. The sunlight looked weird. Really don't know how else to describe it. Then as I put something back in the sewing room, I commented on something smelling like it was burning. Bruce looked out the front door and said it looked like there was smoke to the northeast. Well, did a search and found little news on the fire at Witch Creek. That was around 2 this afternoon. Finally around 4 p.m., the local news channels started carrying the news about the fires. So, the house is closed up, air conditioning is on to try to filter some of the air and the smell of smoke permeates the air. I stepped outside about 6:20 and took these pics....
You can see the smoky haze in the twilight.
