SoCal aflame!

I'm guessing this is making the news all over the world - it seems like all of Southern California is on fire! Please, no one worry about us, we are fine. The air is very smokey and gross, but so far we haven't had ash in our area in Newhall. BUT yes, one of the big fires spread from Agua
Dulce, where we took Andy and Jen just last weekend, all the way south to Canyon Country and destroyed some homes. We saw the flames from a hillside off Sierra Highway on our way to the grocery store. I'll post photos tomorrow; it's gotten too late now and I should join my hubby in bed. Monday will be weird too - Stroller Strides has been canceled, and I'm sure we'll just stay in to avoid the smoke.
And to think that we had planned to take our new jogger out Sunday for one of our megawalks, to break it in!
Sadly, in Sunday's big fire in Malibu, a thriving church I attended while going to Pepperdine has burned to the ground. A number of other homes were damaged/destroyed too.

Thanks for the update. It's very windy in Anaheim, like everywhere else. The section in which we live is in a funnel partially created by Anaheim Hills, and so the wind really gets going. Nowhere near the fires, though. There's a haze at street level.
