Let's hope this thread is short on Bay Area Fire Season

I'm sorta surrounded down here.

To the east, is the Line Fire. To the west, is the Bridge Fire, and to the south, is the Airport Fire.

Not threatened by any of them, but it's clouds of smoke in all directions.

My friends parents were evacuated from their home in Wrightwood, the fire raced through their neighborhood, but their home seems to be ok. A few homes were lost in Wrightwood.

Bridge Fire just exploded. Hard to express how fast that moved.
 
Southern Cal is taking it in the shorts in the mountain..

'It's tough, it's really tough': 132 homes destroyed in California's Mountain Fire
Fanned by wind gusts up to 65 mph, a Southern California fire exploded in Ventura County on Wednesday and continued to spread wildly into Thursday, throwing embers 2 to 3 miles into the distance and starting spot fires that devoured homes and a parched landscape in the foothills near Camarillo and Moorpark. The Mountain Fire burned structure to structure amid powerful Santa Ana winds, and at a press conference Thursday night, officials announced at least 132 homes were destroyed by flames and another 88 damaged.

Friend told me last night that it was a mess. His in laws got really lucky and theirs is only one of two homes survived on the Mountain. It was only the nature of the canyon terrain that pushed the fire around it and the attention from first responders that saved it.

He said the residents had 20 minutes to collect and roll out, assuming they took immediate action.

Crazy lucky on their home.
 
Too many folks from this forum have had that experience or similar in the past.

It's bound to happen again sometime in the future, unfortunately.
