I am not a news watcher as it is almost never correct.  And had not heard about this one.  Most of the news these days is hurricane related.

Is this near where you live?  Hope you're well.

Hi Jay - It's about 9 miles from me, but I can see it looming on the ridge. I have many friends and clients in that area, so I am very worried about them.

Hi Gwen - That is very scary. We had the same view from our home sveeral yaers ago when we had a major wildfire. Our thoughts will be with everyone, and especially the brave firefighters.

Good morning Gwen.

Fires in the west, floods in the south and the possibility of another hurricane hitting the east.. It's been crazy lately.  I do pray for those who are facing difficult times.

Thank you all for your well wishes. The fire is out, and the brave firefighters kept the damage to a minimum, in spite of the fact that this was the largest fire ever to occur in LA.

With all the hurrican coverage I haven't heard much lately about this. I hope they had it subdued before it did even more damage.
