In comparison to what is going on elsewhere in Cali I feel very fortunate to only have a few trees down here. I have several friends who own homes in Malibu, Lake Arrowhead, Santa Clarita and in San Diego. At this point they have all been evacuated.
Although we have been spared from the smoke I got this picture late yesterday afternoon from my front yard looking towards Malibu. I thought the sign with the smoke was fitting.
