    My niece and her family were evacuated from Encino Hills and went to my sister’s house in Oxnard that apparently has another fire not that far away.

    Thoughts and prayers. We have friends and family throughout the area. So far none are in evacuation orders.

    Well…update…two of our lifelong friends and their families have now been evacuated as they are on the outer edge of two of the fires. Hopefully winds will die down so they can gain some traction on the fires…

    A little of this and a little of that.
    :hattip:Good morning

    Dammit @CVYota Andy, nothing but good thoughts for you and everyone in the path of the wildfires.
    Yesterday I turned on the evening news to catch up with the snowstorm that is expected here and all the coverage was the CA fires. I have worked TDY in LAX, SBD, VCV, all over the area many times over the years. Terrible, just terrible. All the best.

    For those that have family or friends in the area of the fires, an app called Watch Duty is available, turn on cams in the layers and you’ll have live views from watch cameras in various areas.

    Good luck to those of you here in the south with the winter storm moving in.

    Good luck Andy and anyone else in SoCal with the fires.

    Good morning. Feeling better. Lingering cough and sinus headache but over most of it. I guess the antibiotics do work.
