Well it started on August 26th 2009 and is still going and uncontained. : ( 20,000+ acres.

These are pictures taken near my house and from the Pasadena area. Hopefully I've kept them in order.

A bit close for comfort, isn't it? And all that smoke must be causing some breathing problems for people. I hope they get it under control soon!

It is weird to see it everywhere I go. The only good thing for us is the smoke is not too bad it is going away from us. It should be hitting Mount Wilson within a few hours. which is just a schock.

Oh, sweetie, when I think of the ash and alyburns August 30 2009, 02:36:04 UTC

smoke you must be taking in if you have to go out :( It was 108 on Thursday here and 106 yesterday. Today, only 98 - and 83 now. Guess summer is finally here - and unfortunately - fire weather. :( Take care and stay inside as much as you can!

It is close but not evacuation close thank goodness. I hope your brother stays safe.

Oh lord, another one. Are you safe where you are? Your pictures are almost exactly like what I saw during the Jesusita fire in... what was it, May? Very eerily similar, same distance, same size flames and smoke plumes. Scary stuff. I'm worried about the upcoming "fire season" which apparently never stopped from last year!

*Hugs* Be safe and careful, Luna!

Yes there are way too many houses between the fire and us, we are fine. : ) and the smoke is not too bad, we hardly smell it.

God that looks scary. Just stay safe hon.

luna_61 August 31 2009, 02:28:45 UTC

Oh yes, I haven't seen anyting like this. We are fine just a little smoke and thank goodness too many houses between the fire and us.

It finally made it onto the BBC news this morning - it really looks horrible - I hate to see woods burning, not to mention homes. Stay safe babe.

Well now it's 105,000+ acres, and I'm a ways away and staying indoors away from the smoke. we have a marine layer this morning so it was cool, hopefully that will help.
