OC Fires, 20081115

Update: 9:04pm-Looks like there’s a possibility that both the Brea and Yorba Linda fires may unite somewhere near Olinda in the Carbon Canyon area.

As I look out my north window, there’s a distinct orange glow from the Brea fire.  Man, it seems a bit unnerving knowing that it’s pretty darn close to home.  I’m pretty sure that most of the mountain biking trails I’ve ridden up there are gone!  Certainly, this day has been a bad day in OC.

Tomorrow, will probably be just as bad as the weather people are saying the strong Santa Ana’s won’t begin to subside until late tomorrow.  My prayers and thoughts are for those who lost it all and for the fire fighters who are continuing the brave battle.

Check out a map from the OC Register’s website that may be of interest to those who aren’t familiar with the area covered by these two fires.  Also, here’s the main link to the OC Register’s fire coverage: http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/sections/news/firecentral/

Initial Post: 12:13pm-Just a quick post to inform everyone of a couple fires in my area. As of this post, there’s one north in Brea and one east in the Corona/Yorba Linda area. In relation to where I’m at, I’d say the closest one (Brea) is roughly 3-5 miles north.

I’ve uploaded pics and vids to my Flickr page so go check them out.

Guess there’s never a dull moment in SoCal…
