It's pretty far away, Tasha. Other side of LA from me. To give you an idea where it is in relation to myself, if you have ever seen the HOLLYWOOD sign then that is a few miles west of the fire. If you have ever seen a movie where they are at the beach in California like Point Break, that is about 5 miles west of me. Now...between those two points is about 40-50 miles as the crow flies and a whole city away. Now, for those who haven't been here, Los Angeles is 40 Square miles of continuous city. And the fire is way up outside of the city in the mountains near Hollywood....it's got no way to get to me.

Yeah it's more likely to end up in Glendale or Burbank in the valley.

I go to school in LA and I looked out my dorm room window (I'm on the top floor of the dorm that's highest up on our hill) and I could see the glow and smoke of the fire.
Funnily enough (well maybe not funny), there's also a major brush fire in my hometown, and people from there are having to evacuate too.
Heh, I'm used to all this fire business. Maybe a few people lose their homes every once in a while, but all in all people are hardly killed :)

Ian is probably a distance from the fire, as he says. My daughter and her family were evacuated last evening primarily because of the smoke, not so much the fire. The fire is on the eastern end of Griffith Park and is surrounded by high-density residential properties. So far as I know at this time, things are improving.
Lots of love to you all.

Anyone know who started this fire? I am so sick of the pyromaniacs finding somepalce to mark their spot in history!
