the heat of los angeles

The the three red lines that I could see from the window combined to form one long red line of fire overnight. I ended up turning the news on around 3am. The fires had indeed met up and were hoping to come full circle. I drifted off and awoke to news that the city of the day was Diamond Bar.

The house was still out of harms way, and as long as the winds cooperate, should be fine. The real issue was keeping the fire from jumping the freeway, which was shut down.

The helicopters and planes really make a big difference, but can only operate in the daylight because of safety concerns. Thankfully the winds died down too, allowing the firefighters to make great progress. They evacuated part of the city, including Snoop Dog, but the house was technically about a quarter mile from mandatory evacuation.

There is no way I would stay at home without a car, so will go into the office with B tomorrow. Hopefully there will be no surprises when we return to the house sometime tomorrow evening.
