This sucks ass.

I'm staying in my house with everything shut to keep the smoke out.

Pic taken on my way home at 5:30 this evening.

Blame the murdering jackass arsonist. I hope he's caught, prosecuted, found guilty of 1st degree murder, put on death row, and lethally injected a week later :|

damn...

Remember couple years ago when the fire ripped through everything east of the 15? That was BAD. The sky turned orange, and it was raining ash. It was surreal, and I couldn't walk outside w/o coughing a bit.

That's the thing, we're like 60-70 miles away! The fire is in Cabazon which is out near Palm Springs but the Santa Ana winds were blowing really hard yesterday which whipped up the fire and pushed tons of smoke and ash toward the coast.

BTW-Four Firemen were killed by this blaze yesterday. :(

I work just minutes from there. In fact, I ride my bike to work a couple times a week usually (this week I haven't ridden in though).

What time do you go through there?

i get out of work at 4:30 so its usually around 4:45pm when im going through that area. i used to go through business park and stop by to visit my best friend who works there but ever since the melrose extension i just go up a couple lights and go directly to melrose to get home.

Yep! The OP just had to brag about Santa Anna wind condition weather.

Jules, I'm in Long Beach and no ash yet.

Remember our three seasons...Summer, fire and flood.

Many of our brush/forest fires are the result of arson. :|
