Heaven forbid it's demise! :eek: Actually the area is very much on fire and the news coverage is astounding! If it affects a Hollywood-type actor, producer, director, then they go all out to protect and serve . A few years ago they sent all the firefighting aircraft (the airtankers) to airports about 10 to 12 hours away from here, :illogical and now they are "re-thinking" that choice . It takes too long to get them here . . . and they want to change that . We used to have a very large force of tankers here in Hemet/Ryan airport . . . but they are gone now . The Mount Wilson Observatory (http://www . mtwilson . edu/) has had fires all around it . . . if you go to that link, the forest in the pix looking down into the LA Basin are all gone right now . . . up to the actual buildings so far . The smoke is carrying here to Hemet . There is a new fire in Corona . . about 30 miles East of here that just broke out . This is a very populated area like the Griffith Park area, although not as rich or famous . No Hollywood producers or actor-types live there to the best of my knowledge either . This bodes badly for the rest of the summer . . . . we have not really had fires of this intensity so early in the season . The area is a vast tinderbox and ripe for fires and death . At 9AM, Wednesday, now here, it is 37 . 7C and 13% humidity, barometer rising promising winds from the East (Santannas) called "The Devil Winds" that will really bring the temps up and the humidity 'way down!
