California burning-again

Surprised no one has mentioned this- the smoke is
everywhere
And Paradise is toast, Malibu evacuating?
Here we go again. I won’t ride with the
air quality here in Napa.

I thought I was going to get some miles in for the 3 day weekend. Sounds like I’m going thrifting instead.

The smoke over here is overwhelming, I’m having to wear a mask at work —eyes are burning and I’m already starting to get a headache

Gadzooks.

I love the West Coast, but other parts of the country are starting to look more livable...

The Santa Ana winds are starting to build up here which is a recipe for disaster, really hoping nothing sparks up.

My car was covered in ashes this morning. The smoke blew in yesterday around noon. Cancelled riding my bike with my son today as a result. We need rain.

Ash cloud over the Santa Monica Mtns.

Starting to be able to smell the fire.

It's in Franco Bike's back yard.

Guess I'm not riding outside this weekend.

I was really looking forward to ride this morning as I have the day off but air quality is pretty bad even miles and miles away. Hope all the folks up there are doing okay.

It’s pretty apocalyptic as far west as Sonoma County.

California burning-again

Down here on the peninsula it's hazy and not a day to ride. Looks like my Sunday will be a double whammy of breathing bad air while watching silver and black suck even further.

Down south our friends in Agoura Hills (Kanan/101) evacuated at 1:30am last night as the fire jumped 101 towards Malibu. There house is still there but the smoke damage is hard to know at this point.

Just flew over it, going into LAX. Could see the flames on the fire line. Hope everybody is safe.

Best wishes and luck to all you Californians. My son lives in West LA now so I’m paying closer to attention to locations of these.
