First concrete sighting: Driving up the freeway to Pasadena (east of L.A.), saw the orange-brown haze of smoke pouring through the gap between the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountains. That was impressive. The sunlight is just starting to take on that lowering tinge that eventually becomes an angry frown in the air.

Haven't seen any ash yet, but I hear it's falling farther south, and we'll get some here if the Malibu fires get worse. There'll be a lot of green growth in the spring, if we get the rain to nourish it. Fire is bad for humans, but it's quite good for the earth.

It must look like the end of the world...

Beautiful and natural and terrifying.

Too many members of my flist are too close to the fires.

That's the horrible dichotomy of So Cal (and other places like it) - left unpopulated and natural, areas like that would have regular small fires to clear out undergrowth, etc.

Ash has also been falling to the north of L.A. The sky in Santa Barbara was a big brown cloud on Saturday, that will probably last through Tuesday. This (I'm told) is mainly ash from the recent Zaca fire blowing in the wind, which is better than active fire, at least. But it *smells* like fire, so my hindbrain isn't happy. The real thing must be a lot worse.
