The sun is just beginning to rise here, but something is missing---the Santa Ana winds. They were supposed to blow as strong as the night before, but at least here in Southern Orange County, they were completely calm. Overnight, I kept getting up to peek outside; it was so still it was almost eerie. The air also seems much clearer. It looks like any normal morning with the coastal fog over the ocean.But of course the situation remains grim, and terribly sad. A friend whose husband is a firefighter with Los Angeles County says these are the worst fires California has ever experienced. The pictures from Lake Arrowhead are especially devastating. For us here, the Santiago fire in Irvine and Lake Forest is the closest, perhaps 10 miles away.
