The fires have continued to spread due to the fierce, dry Santa Ana winds.
These new NASA satellite images of the wildfires show the area between Los Angeles and San Diego, California. Fire activity is denoted with red pixels. Vast plumes of thick smoke can be seen blowing out over the Pacific Ocean.
The first image was captured by NASA’s Terra satellite at 2:25 p.m. EST on October 23, 2007. The second image was acquired by NASA’s Aqua satellite at 5:40 p.m. EST, just over three hours later.

Thanks Grant, just got back home, it was pretty close but thankfully the fire fighters here did a great job saving structures.
I can only hope everyone else is just as lucky and well safe.
Even with the fire being out close to me, now comes the cleanup of the continuously falling thick ash all over everything.
