Cook's Corner at Santiago Canyon and Live Oak Canyon, c. 1970 |
I do believe the fire people don't expect this fire to be fully contained until the 11th of November, but I suspect that that factoid makes the situation seem worse than it is. Indications are (I think) that the fire authorities have done a lot to contain this monster.
The Reb and crew are safe and sound. My bro's family got lucky and just missed the mandatory evacuations in east Irvine. The air there has been pretty bad but things are definitely slowly getting back to normal, at least in my brother's part of east Irvine.
I did find the same "hot spot" map (see yesterday), only updated. It looks good:
Rebel Girl's place and my place are represented by blue dots on the right (bottom half). |
Hotspot-wise, we seems to be much better off than yesterday. Here's yesterday's map:
Again, look for the blue dots. |
Here's yet another "hotspot" map, done from satellite:
Teddy says "hey."
I've added some pics below that the Reb took yesterday:
Looking west, I think, from Santiago Canyon Rd., near the southernmost Modjeska turnoff. |
Same vantage point. Is that Whiting Ranch back there? |
