Pictures - Smokey Skies of So. Cal. Fire 4 Attachment(s) I thought I'd share pictures I've taken of the skies in Orange County Califoria from the Santiago Fire which is still burning tonight. The picture were taken from my cell phone on the way home going towards the fire. The closest the fire came to our home was about 2 miles. But the smoke has been horrible. Here are some pictures I took with my cell phone. 1st Picture - Tuesday 2nd picture - Wednesday - I tried to take a picture of the same scene as the one before 3rd & 4th picture - Today - We finally got to see a little blue sky! The wind changed direction and is blowing the smoke away from the coast to the inland. |
That is horrible. I am keeping all you fellow YTers in CA in my thoughts and hope that you are all safe and sound.:( |

It's very terrible to have to see so much destruction in so many lives. I feel very awful about all the agony and loss of so many people. I work in torrance and the air and sky there was not good this week. |
I keep looking at the third photo - Amazing that such beauty can come from such tragedy... |
I agree, that 3rd picture is beautiful ... our thoughts are prayers are with you ... be careful with breathing that smoke .... I remember 9-11 was disastrous to the people in NYC and Washington DC .... |

I just saw on the news that the fire is only 35% contained! I thought it was more than that... |
Wow, you've got a nice cell phone! Those pictures are great. What a terrible, terrible disaster. I'm just shocked at the number of people who had to evacuate and the loss of homes, and now the loss of life. Horrible. |
Thats soo scary!! 2 miles away from your home!!! |
Very troubling to see pics, it must be horrible to have to live it...Stay safe!! |
That is so very sad and so much destruction of beautiful land and homes. So glad that you and your family are safe but I can only imagine the air quality must be aweful. Still keeping everyone in our praryers. |
1 Attachment(s) Sending Thoughts and Prayers to all the Wildfire families. Here's a picture from my backyard. The air is full of smoke, it really makes your eyes burn. We were very lucky, we still have our home. My heart goes out to everyone with family and friends dealing with this. My God Bless them all.:hands: |
OMG, even in the distance its frightening! |
I've been thinking a lot about the people in So Cal dealing with this natural disaster. I hope that you and your family (and your home) remains safe and healthy! I was in Malibu last summer studying at Pepperdine, and when I saw the pictures, it was so surreal, and I've only been there once! I can't even imagine what this is like for you. Hugs and happy thoughts! |
I can't even imagine how awful it is over there! We're in Palm Desert, and the smoke got to us yesterday; it was totally "overcast" but not too much smell til last night....then, wow! The smell of smoke was like a Mack truck hit us! (for anyone not familiar with the area, we're like 120-130 miles away from LA/San Diego). It's not just the smoke; it's all that junk that burned (draperies, furniture, tires, and heaven only knows what) that's in the air right now that's the real danger to humans and animals. Today it's very smoky here again. My heart goes out to everyone over there; such a loss of homes and some of the most beautiful natural resources in the world. I am on my way over to San Diego to volunteer for the Red Cross; hopefully, they'll have masks for us! I'm so glad that you and yours are safe and your home is intact! I think everyone who lives down here knows someone who has been affected by these horrible fires. Stay well..... |
4 Attachment(s) I just got these pictures e-mailed to me. I don't know where they are from, other than it's from one or more of our fires. May God Bless them all.:hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: |
2 Attachment(s) Just heart breaking!!!!! |
Oh my gosh, Mustangbee! Those pictures are so breathtaking! But really so sad; esp when I think about all the animals who will be/ have been affected. It just makes me sick to think most of this was at the hands of a human being. I'm supposed to be in the car right now driving over there....and here I sit looking at pictures...yikes:eek: . One more post and I'm outta here:) . |

Corinne~ I'm sorry, I meant to ask, what kind of cell phone do you have that takes such clear photos??? That's awesome! Is it an iPhone? |

The fire here in town was set by a power line. I don't think I would be able to sit still if I found out someone set it. May God Bless All Families.:hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: |
Thanks so much for sharing those pictures with all of us. I feel so...bad for all you's that live anywhere near the fire 's. :( Stay safe and know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. |
Gina and Corinne, those pictures are just amazing, beautiful and at the same time, so very sad, considering their source. I am so happy you are both okay. Even here in Yorba Linda, the air was horrible this week; my throat feels kind of "thick" from all the particles in the air. Everything in my yard was covered in ash. Corinne, I cannot believe how bad the fires still are in Santiago Canyon. It's very overcast by me this morning, and I just pray that it rains. Hugs to all of you that have gone through a terrible ordeal this past week,:ghug: Lauren |
Some of those pictures are just unreal.:( To see that wall of smoke and fire right on top of all those houses is mind boggling. The situation as a whole is beyond what my mind can comprehend--that there are some fires burning that they can't put out--sounds simple. It's bigger than what I can grasp. M. |
Mustangbee....those are from the 2003 fires. Minus the 4th one in the first pic. |

They said our fire (Harris) will be out by Nov.2nd, not sure how they can date a fire. After last night's merge, the Witch Creek fire will take longer. :2hearts2: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :2hearts2: |

Hmmm Not sure where they came from, they were e-mailed to me this morning with 2007 Wildfires |
Some my dad just sent me of the Fires up in Arrowhead area.... 3 Attachment(s) Or, San Bernardino Mountains. Still far from his home, but...nerve wracking none the less. |
Unbelievable pictures! Everyone in that area is in our prayers! What horrible destruction. I hope your family is safe! |
It really sucks, because soon it will be the rainy season. After all these fires and lack of vegitation, the areas will be having a lot of flash floods this winter. :( |
