LA Fires!

How's everyone doing who lives in SoCal? I haven't seen Jeremy posting recently, and I believe the fire is in his neighborhood. Hope he's alright.

Thanks for the concern, but the big fires in the news are all 50-100 mi north of us. By the time yesterday's Santa Ana winds got to coastal San Diego County, they were much weaker than the ones hitting Pacific Palisades, which is roughly 20 mi WNW of downtown LA. Weaker still today.

We're as dry as they are, but thankfully no fires here so far. However, our diminished Santa Anas are still carrying lots of desert allergens from the southern Great Basin. Eyes and throat have been stinging non-stop for 3 days.
 
I feel you. Fire smoke is no joke. In 2020, our little town was impacted by the CZU fires in Santa Cruz County. With lockdowns, remote learning, and unable to open the window, it was literal hell for almost 2 weeks. The fires were started by a lightning storm that took place at about 2am. I have an outdoor job and we were all issued masks. They mostly worked, but it wasn’t easy. Driving through the rural areas, you still see impact of the fires today.
