For those who may not be aware, So Cal has a real serious fire disaster. It is known as the Blue Cut fire. The smoke smell is really strong here at my place. The fire area is about half an hour drive from the house, so close. Here is situation as it is now.
Started yesterday about 10:30 am. over 18,000 acres burned. Very important: ZERO PERCENT CONTAINED! Temps expected to be 100+ here in the High Desert again today, RH is in range of 5% to 15%, depending where one is, winds will pick back up during daytime. 700 firefighters, 130 engines, and the DC-10 super tanker and more too are here. 82,600 people evacuated. The I-15 freeway in Cajon Pass and CA 138 both closed down. Damage to I-15 and power lines in the Cajon Pass. Many homes and businesses destroyed already. One is a little personal for me and many here, especially in the High Desert.
The historic Summit Inn Restaurant burned down. It was built in 1952 and was well known part of Route 66. It was for Laura and I a favorite place to eat. We also adopted a Teddy Bear from there. We knew the owner.
I am obviously watching closely, hoping to not have to evacuate.
