It has been a very hectic day today. The unimaginable has happened, a fire started last night in the far East County, and it has raged west, crossing several freeways. At this point, the 15, 8, 57, 52, 805 and 163 are closed. The fire has crossed as far west as the 805. Just a little further, and it will reach the coast. There is another fire burning in the Southeastern part of the county, so we're essentially surrounded by fire. This morning, the sky was jet black with smoke. Now, it looks like mars with thick smoke filtering the sun. We saw flames from my house around 1PM.... they were towering above some local homes, likely over 100 feet tall.
