It was weird, LAX and SNA were doing approaches for landing over the ocean, that is pretty rare.

Daybreak but little sun making its way through the smoke in Venice.
Last night the moon was orange, today the sun was bright red as I looked towards LAX. Now the sun is high enough to be obscured by smoke.
New fire in the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area, the Woodley Fire, is burning in the San Fernando Valley near the intersection of the 405/San Diego Freeway and the 101/Ventura Freeway.
Many homes lost along the water in Malibu, even more structures lost in Pacific Palisades.
Wind gusts reached 99 mph last night whipping the Eaton Fire in Altadena and Pasadena.
Winds are supposed to diminish a bit after 9 AM; red alert conditions will still persist.

Stay safe. Fires are terrifying.

Landing patterns at LAX are typically reversed during Santa Ana conditions. Ordinarily take off is over the ocean.

Yup, I did land once over the ocean there during a nasty rain storm.
We will be connecting out of LAX in March on the way to Hanoi via Hong Kong, then coming home from Saigon via Narita and San Fran.

"Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades."
Okay, that just a little bit eerie.

I lived in the area for over 20 years. While the Santa Ana winds are a problem during brush fires, the real problem is poor forest management. And the Santa Ana winds do disperse the smog when they kick up.

Biden just messed up in California.
At a briefing given by government and fire officials he was updated on the situation.
He ended the session by pointing out the good news: his son's house didn't burn down and that he's a great grandfather.
Read the room man.

Thanks for reminding us that there's always the possibility - probability? - trump will politicize Federal emergency / disaster assistance.

Terrible enough that you know your home and possessions are likely going to be destroyed.
Horrific beyond description, however, if you don't know that you and your family will be able to escape a fire.
Yes I know. We had a 30,000 acre burn behind our house. Had a plane fly over bombing it with red stuff. Ashes falling on you while walking the dog is creepy as hell.

My brother's entire neighborhood went up a few years back in the Miramar part of San Diego. His little cul-de-sac was unharmed, but the neighborhood lost about 80% of the houses.
