Apparently the evacuation warning has been lifted for Altadena. Hooray! We can sleep easy tonight. (And unpack the suitcases in the morning…)

View from the house: Smoke coming out of the ridge on Mount Wilson slightly West of the communication towers and the Mount Wilson observatory.
First fires and smoke, then RBG. Now earthquakes? https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ew1600497528/dyfi/intensity
I swapped it out in July and it should still have had a few weeks/months left in it, but the fires apparently have caked it up. Based on previous changes of filters in the house every 3 months, this looks like about 2 years or more of dust build up. Changed it because the filter seemed to be whistling in the ducting.
Doomscrolling takes on a whole new meaning when you’re following the #BobcatFire hastag and your house is 3 miles from the front lines.
The wind has shifted and the smoke in the atmosphere isn’t as suffocating as it has been until this morning. I still can’t see the Bobcat fire from the house by looking up at the mountain, but it’s apparently very close to Mt. Wilson and the closest part of the fireline is about 3 miles from the house. Things generally aren’t looking good. I suspect we may see flames before the evening is out.
With heavy fire activity expected, fire crews will continue increasing containment lines along the south end of the Bobcat Fire and conduct structure protection planning in the foothill communities. For more info visit inciweb at: https://t.co/TTuONDlvrR #BobcatFireTwo pic.twitter.com/ybpO7xQGHl

San Francisco in Blade Runner 2020
Not my video, I simply put Blade Runner 2049's soundtrack over it.
Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSreOPz0Zcs
Song is "2049" by Hans Zimmer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3clrkLNTSA
The brush fire erupted near the Cogswell Dam and then spread rapidly amid an intense, record-breaking heat wave, prompting evacuation orders for Mt. Wilson Observatory.
Still growing in size, but fortunately not toward high population zones at the moment.
This is a particularly good sign!
