I came very close yesterday and last night to being burned out also. San Bernardino is the location of the worst fire in California right now. As of this morning 200 homes have been destroyed and three people have died. I have just returned home from work on the railroad. Last night I had to drive a train through the Cajon Pass. There were fires on many of the mountains around us. As of right now, the trains are not running. Too dangerous. The seasonal Santa Ana winds (they blow in the opposite direction from normal during the fall) is blowing the fire west towards Los Angeles and it is about to meet another fire 10 miles away along the foothills. Then they will both head for Los Angeles. I am safe for now as I am about 10 miles south of the fire. The Santa Ana winds have actually blown the smoke and ash that covered my house yesterday out of the are. I sympathize with you Jacques and am keeping my fingers crossed that your home comes out unscathed. Most important is you and your family. Any possession can be replaced. Good luck.

We can already see the glow and smell the smoke. Ash everywhere. Neighbors have already gone. Lots of people up the road have been evacuated. I'm signing off and getting ready for evacuation. Hopefully I'll still have a house and the AH/Lotus/Porsche tomorrow. They are staying home... We are taking the van and the Expedition with the dogs. Wish us luck. Jacques Le Clainche |
