There are something like 200 total smaller fires that all make up the Eaton fire. Thick smoke is everywhere and so are downed trees from the 70 mph Santa Ana winds from yesterday. Fortunately, the winds died a lot today. Pasadena has so many trees that it's a match box waiting to be ignited. We are staying in a hotel now, but I'm still working during the day.
All the best Greg. I pray you don't have to experience losing your home.
