CA Fires (Patreon)

Since I've seen some people asking - Our house is fine (for now). We're basically in between the 4 major fires but about 10 miles away from each one. Majority of our friends & family are also safe at the moment since the extremely-highly dense residential areas haven't been hit yet. I live by the LAFD air headquarters so it's been pretty wild seeing the air traffic control and all these constant flight patterns going non-stop. It's a strange situation where we're sort of just sitting and waiting without a real way to help since it's advised that if we don't need to be on the road, we don't, to make things far more accessible.

Luckily right now, the fires very close to us seem to be burning west (which is towards open space & non-residential) but with these winds it could change any second. Seems as though this isn't going to be going anyway anytime soon based on weather projections through the next 7 days.

Pretty insane. We always get these strong "Santa Ana" winds during winter months but this was the first time in 15 years of living here that it felt like the outskirts of a hurricane (I lived in Florida as reference).

Hope everyone else is doing well! I know TX is getting hit with a winter storm and the mid-west/east-coast has that insane cold front.

The entire USA gets a pretty crazy layer of fog covering quite literally the entire country and then 5-7 days later we all get insane weather patterns at record breaking levels... pretty weird.
