SoCal on Fire

Bailed Catalina early Sunday AM after Bob & Jessica's wedding to avoid getting ruined by the Santa Anas. Smoke from the Malibu Canyon fire blowing directly offshore was visible from as far away as Palos Verdes. Oddly, south of the Palisades, the wind was negligible. Here are photos taken from the water...





Here's a photo of the hellacious-looking evening sky taken from the Marina on Sunday. Phil ended up leaving his boat there when it was too hairball to sail on Monday AM...



This was the eerie scene on the 101 around Camarillo on Monday...



Not suprisingly, air quality is bad from all the particulate matter and trail access could be affected as well. Here's a satellite image grabbed from latimes.com showing all the fires around SoCal on Tuesday. Gnarly.

That's just insane. Usually it's two or three big fires. This looks like a bunch of little ones all over the place, with a few big ones as well.
