This is scary, I am out of town and my mom nor husband have access to the computer during the day.  Just the local news.

If anything happens that at all may affect us, can someone please call me?

Thanks so much!

RANCHO PALOS VERDES

FOX Channel 11 is now reporting another new fire in Rancho Palos Verdes.

This fire was quickly knock down and is under control. Per KFI AM 640.

To make matters worse, the firemen at the Anaheim Hills fire DO NOT HAVE ANY WATER! They interviewed a fireman and he said he does not know why, and there are houses burning and the fireman cannot do anything!
We have been watching the DC-10 going in and out of SCLA, too bad they did not have more of them!

We had to evacuate my mother in law from Yorba Linda today. It is amazing how fast things happen.   Not to much after this picture things broke loose 




This is the view from the north side using Carbon Canon Road to get back to Wrightwood.

[Chuck]

From the 210 you see how the fires stretch from east to west.  On the left is the Yorba Linda area and then off to the right is Brea.  The only access was Carbon Canyon (now closed I believe).

Oh dear, I have friends down there with kids. We haven't heard anything from them yet, they would have been coming back from Pasadena. I doubt they could have gotten home before the area was evacuated, but they must be worried about their house.

On another note, I didn't know you could get to WW from Carbon Canyon Rd. Where does it come out?

[Chuck]

From Imperial Highway you take Rose north to Carbon Canyon Road.  You take it east to the 71.

My son lives across from Cal State Fullerton which is between Brea and Yorba Linda.  The roads are totally back up, there is a lot of ash, and the sky was black well before sunset.

I lived in Yorba Linda before moving to Wrightwood.  We know of one person who has lost their home.  The fires are about 2 miles from where we lived - it's unabelievable seeing these familiar spots up in flames.

[ChrisLynnet]

Thank you Chuck.

And Chatty, it is weird to watch an area where you used to live burn. I had that experience last year -- or the year before? -- when parts of Santa Clarita were on fire.

[Elk]

Both the Yorba Linda fire and the Brea fire can clearly be seen from Hwy 2 about 1 1/2 miles west of Grassy Hollow. During the day it was hard to distinguish the two, but in the dark you can see the separation

Very disturbing sight!

[Patchylou]

I lived in WW for 5 years and was never as close to losing my home as I am right now.  Crazy!  My husband & I live in Brea and our neighborhood is currently in a voluntary evacuation area.  We've got everything ready to go if we need to.  For me this is so reminiscent of October '03.  Just being glued to the TV and one story after another of families losing homes.

This was taken outside my front door.




This was taken in a neighborhood just a bit north of our home.  They were under a mandatory evacuation.

Anyone know where and now we can help? Please just reply. If there is a group of us we can go together.

[Calindy]

This is one busy DC-10!

Here is some interesting footage from the 91 Freeway.

Saw it on the news this morning. Evidently it was 5 classical musicians going to a gig. They had checked with best online/news info and supposedly the freeway was clear and fire not 'close' when they left. I have to say, I'm pretty surprised that the fwy wasn't closed in their direction with the other side involved at all, let alone all the way to the center divider...
