Smoke and Mirrors
Crazy fires!!! We are OK - from the north no big deal but from the east we had some spots about a half mile away on fire. The palm trees at the car dealer were burning and the open land across the street was too. There were times it was like an eclipse - then totally red/orange. The people at the end of my block were evacuated - again about half mile down but we were cool.
They actually block off Fairmont at La Palma so the wifey had to park the car down another blocks residential area and then make her way home. Lucky friends of ours live right there and she biked it home. I think they mostly did it as they use Yorba Regional Park as a base for the firefighters and all the trucks and stuff.
We were getting lots of ashes and it was crazy on the breathing - house smell ed like smoke all night but we were never really in danger.
All is well now - nice blue skies
later

thank goodness!!!! when i saw anaheim and brea i got worried about you guys.
my sister's former boss was evacuated in the brea/yorba linda area.
way too scary.
today we still smell like an ash tray and have the ashes in the air... skies are sort of blue.
I was wondering about you guys too..I don't have your number so I couldn't call...
But glad you made it through it. My co-worker lives in Yorba and he said that him and some neighbors went house to house with ladders watering down roofs and all the houses they watered down were saved.
Was scary looking!
Was the Merc shut down at all?
