As the day went on there were 4 more fires, one being only 5 miles from our house. The one near us was a smaller brush fire that was quickly under control. Mark and I went to take pictures of the sunset and on the way, it started to snow ashes...white ashes. The temperatures are cooler here now, and we still have very little wind. The smoke is blowing from the east so it is over the ocean. Here are the shots we took tonight:

This is Catalina Island with the smoke lingering above it.
The smoke kind of looks like a storm cloud.



I pulled out our box of "must have" papers and put them by the door just in case things change overnight and we are asked to evacuate(even though the current fires are about 20 miles from here). These papers include what we need to go get Henry!

So sad to hear about the fires and people loosing their houses. Good plan being prepared but hopefully you won't need it!

Here's hoping that DNA confirmation comes...today!
