...thank you very much Santa Ana winds. Yes, I am up at 5am on a Saturday morning and have been up since 3am after Jess started getting calls about a spreading fire just north of us that is hindering travel to his job this morning. They have just closed part of the 5 fwy which is going to wreak havoc on the greater Los Angeles area seeing as how it is the only thruway for this part of Southern Cali. so it will be an interesting Saturday morning for anyone trying to go north or south through LA. The fire is growing so rapidly and the winds are so strong that the fire has managed to jump an area of the 5 freeway that is 10 lanes wide. This fire is now heading towards the area that I blogged about earlier and will hopefully stop when it hits the already previously burned areas. Unfortunately it puts my friend Harriet at risk again, and I will obviously be checking in on her at a more reasonable hour. For now, Jess is on the phone calling the crew to cancel the shoot for the day and I am keeping a close watch on the news to see what is happening. Will update more as I know more. For those not familiar with the area, we are safe where we are on the west side of LA which is about 25 miles south west of the fire. Keep your fingers crossed for those people in the fire's path and send good thoughts to those who have already lost their homes this morning.
