Oh well, I guess it was no big Deal.
The majority of CA posters here are from Northern CA or other places.
Seems like Southern California has Brush fires almost every year.
Probably a Real Estate game of some kind.

Didn't King Trump say Cali could control wildfires by doing more leaf raking??

"...doing more leaf raking??.."
No one ever taught them how to compost their Leaves.
I blame the educational system for failing to teach Home Ec / Shop Class.
Now they teach Math but it's all some Communist bullshit liek, "The actual Math is not important; express your Feelings regarding the Equation. There are no wrong answers."

I was surprised to read about this fire yesterday evening. The location is about 30 miles south of me, but we didn't get any smoke up here at all. It blew up fast to more than 10,000 acres overnight.
This pic isn't mine; I got it from Twitter. It's the view from Venice Beach yesterday, which is about 60 miles south of the file.

I'm not sure what the precise location is for this fire, Turtle, but there have been some bad fires down that way in the last 10 years or so.

...“The gusty winds, low
...“The gusty winds, low humidities, and hot temperatures will bring elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions to the mountains and Antelope Valley,” according to a statement on the Angeles National Forest incident page.
Mandatory evacuations have been issued for residents in the area of Lake Hughes Road, west of Pine Canyon and south of Dry Gulch Road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Additional evacuations were instated east of Old Ridge Route, west of 3 Points Road, north of Pine Canyon Road, and south of Highway 138, as well as at Elizabeth Lake Road between Lake Hughes and Trail Mountain roads..."
Not from the Area, but from the News link above that describes the geography.
Who would imagine, ever, that places called "Pine Canyon" and "Dry Gulch Road" could ever catch on Fire ??

The "Lake Fire" is west of Palmdale/Lancaster in the Lake Hughes area, which according to KCRW/NPR this morning, has not burned in a while and is proving difficult to contain.
That is an impressive shot from Venice, Mikee! I saw nothing from SFV yesterday but the north hills and/or some haze is likely blocking that view.

Are you in the SFV, Strawbud? I'm in the hills about 40 miles north of the SCV. Amazingly, we got a little bit of rain early this morning. I hope some fell by the fire too.
I was thinking about the Powerhouse Fire in 2013, which also burned right by Lake Hughes.
Powerhouse Fire - 2013
Lake Fire - 2020

Yepper, I am, Mikee, and have been here/there in the NoHo area a bit over a year now. We should try to connect sometime. The current fire certainly looks explosive and appears to be in the same scorch area as Powerhouse '13. I hope it can be contained soon. The surprise light (yet larger, heavy drops) rain is/was falling down here too. I work in Chatsworth and there was a canyon flare-up off 118-W on Tuesday that could have also rapidly spread but was fairly quickly doused.
'tis the season - stay safe out there in every way!

Cool. I didn't think there were other zoners nearby. I added my email address to my profile. Drop me a line and we'll see if we can arrange a socially distant meet-up.

Talked to my bud tonight, who just got off the San Juan River, only to return home to smoke-filled air that blocks his view of Boulder Mountain. That stuff travels.

That sux, Slick. I guess the prevailing North Easterlies swept it all that way because there is no smoke or even any smoke/fire odor over here. Have a gas and stay safe out there...the whole region is gonna be roasting this weekend.

Thanks Mikee, good info in "inciweb".. There was a high thin layer of smoke-smog on the north rim mts this morning and the weekend forecast is not looking favorable for significant additional containment.

I drove a buddy out to the Antelope Valley this morning to pick up his new vehicle, and got somewhat close to the fire, which looks to be still raging. It was also already 102 at about 10:00 AM out that way.

The Nevada City fire has
The Nevada City fire has apparently gone through the land of the school I went to High School at. John Woolman School. It's tapping into/exacerbating grief from my first husband's death last year - we met there in 1964. Some life long friends and ethics came from there.
I know, the land will still be there, but the beauty of what we explored as first drugs and sex took place will be gone. It was an amazing piece of land outside of Nevada City and Grass Valley, a great place to come of age.

Woke up to tons of smoke this
Know someone who bugged out of Grass Valley on Monday under an advisory evac order ... pandemic doesn't make it any easier.
Woke up to tons of smoke this morning in SW Colorado ... likely from the fire near Grand Junction.
It'd be a great time for some rain! ... although sadly doesn't look like much in the forecast

Just saw there are are two hurricanes making their way up the gulf, seems like it's a nonstop sequence of "perfect storms".
On the bright side, maybe it'll push some much needed moisture into the southwest.
