I wonder if my cousin in Pasco, WA will go help out? He's been a
firefighter for 35 years. He always volunteers to go help where there are
wildfires. Good luck to you folks in CA!

Same ol' same ol'...... especially at this time of year.

Give it another week or so and Aussie Firefighters will be heading over
there to help out.

Due to the "santana winds" winds which come at the same time every
year.

Looks like Sylmar is a hot spot right now.

I grew up in Granada Hills and my mom still lives in the house that
she and my dad bought 51 years ago. She was given notice to evacuate
but didn't go. She doesn't drive much anymore and made arrangements
to scoot out with a neighbor but they decided to stay. Apparently it
was unpleasant but bearable. Here is a snippet of her email to me
today.

----
The black ash permeated everything...I swept off the patio a couple of
times and gave up. I’ve got black ash everywhere....it accumulates
wherever there is a hose or plant....it will take several rains to
clean up the landscape.... I feel very grateful to be complaining
about ash!!!
-----

I’m not crazy about her decision to stay because right behind our
house is a creek lined with eucalyptus trees (the creek is between the
fire and mom's house) and with the wind blowing embers in her
direction I shudder to think how quickly things could go south.

It sucks being so far away.

Thanks for the concern although I moved to the central coast about a year
ago # 4 daughter + Husband + 3 grandkids still live in the house.

The house and all are fine.

The fire in Sylmar is south of Newhall and the wind is blowing to the south
towards the San Fernando Valley. I spoke to them earlier and they said "If
the wind shifts get the extra bedrooms ready".

I have the laptop hooked to the live feed lout of LA and piped into the TV
so we can monitor the situation.

Regards to all & thanks
