serai.
The sky is all hazed out now. Still no strong smoke smell. There've been helicopters overhead, flying south, all of them. The moon was orange last night, which I can't remember seeing since the really huge Malibu fires back in the 80's. Hot, dry and still. I opened the windows to get some air during the night, but there's no little air movement that it didn't really make much difference. Not even Casey wants to go outside - when I let her out this morning, she just turned around and came back in.
Over the last couple of days, I've been getting lovely responses from you folks. Thank you for your concern! *hugs* But I really should clarify here that I am not in danger. The fires are many, many miles away from us, over roughly fifty miles of city land, built-up concrete city. We've even got skyscrapers! (They mostly live in a preserve we have set aside for them downtown, because we don't want them to breed with the other buldings and take over So Cal!)
So really, there's no need to worry about me or mine. I've been posting these updates because I thought it would be interesting for everyone to hear what the situation looks like from someone who lives a bit farther off than those who are actually in harm's way.

Date: Thursday, October 25th, 2007 05:02 pm (UTC)I feel guilty because it has been raining here for a week. We were down almost thirteen inches though, and were in a severe state of drought. But now that we are getting rain, it is hard to watch San Diego and the poor people in Atlanta without feeling a bit of survivor guilt.
