News as surprising as another mass shooting: California ablaze again/still

[Whateverist]

I live north east of the Woolsey fire. The wind is blowing away from us, so we're not getting any smoke. We are far enough from the vegetation (minimum 2 miles in any direction) that our house is incredibly unlikely to catch on fire from this fire. There was a fire several years ago that burned all around us, but only a few homes on the periphery were damaged or destroyed.

And yes, the other fire is burning through Westlake and areas around it, so some of the residents are getting a double-dose of grief.

Two miles in all directions must give you some peace of mind at a time like this.  You're lucky not to be getting the smoke.  I took the dogs to the beach in San Francisco today hoping for less smoke.  Not so good.  But I think I'll stay inside now.
