Hi Connie! I'm so glad your home is alright. I have a friend in Santa Clarita - the flames got up to the backyard of the house across the street from his and the wind blew the flames back on themselves so the homes on his street were saved. He said it looks like a war torn city and that the winds caused as much damage as the fires did. I think I'd probably cry if I drove through there right now.
The last few days here in Orange County we've had fog or low clouds or something like that - I'm thinking that if Santa Clarita is also experiencing that fogginess feeling that it might be trapping the smoky smell - once it lifts the smell will diminish.
We had a wildfire near us when I lived in Palmdale - was as close as about 7 houses away - the wind must've blown the opposite direction after the fire because we never had the smell issue - we did have lots of ash though.
Good luck to you and I'm really glad your home is alright!
