These fires are massive and roaring through inhabited areas. Hoping all are safe. One broke out near us early this morning. No immediate threat; it is about 4 miles away and being blown in the opposite direction, but the air quality has gone to crap. I am basically hunkered down at home for the day, just in case the winds shift and I have to gather the animals and move.

Anyone in LA, please let us know you are safe.

I have been watching the news, as others have. Devastating fires. I hope things get under control soon.

My daughter lives in Pasadena, about one mile east of the Pasadena Convention Center, near Lake and Del Mar. She called my wife and me informing her that it was recommended everyone in her area voluntarily evacuate. We immediately drove up from where we live in Whitter to pick her and her roomate up to stay with us until the all clear message is announced. Traffic flowed very well on the 210, but the smokey air and fallen trees around my daughter's area reminded us that anything is possible.

I hope to see you at the Pasadena show in a few weeks.

Sadly, my Son-in-Law's grandparents lost their home today in the Pasadena area. I can't imagine losing everything. Horrible.

I have a home at Washington and Lake in Pasadena, which is just south of Alta Dena. We evacuated late last night, but I drove to my house early this morning at 4 am to see the fires and check on my house. I drove up Lake for around a mile north of Washington, and that's where you could begin to see smaller fires, which had been started by floating embers from the bigger fires closer to the mountain. 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.

Very sad. If they / you are a believer (like I am), you know things happen for a reason. I hope they escaped with all of their precious personal possessions, money, jewelry, old family photos, and if they have some, valuable sports cards. I had $15,000 in vintage cards stolen once, and I think about that loss at least one per week.
