it was blowing so bad in Parker I ended up just leaving and coming home at 2:15am in the morning. Electricity was flashing off and on for over 3 hrs and then just finally gave out. I swear I have never seen it blow there so hard before. The water was blowing up on my porch. Wow, it was crazy!

Wow, blowing hard here in Newbury Park...Weather chanel reports Laguana peak, just above Pt Mugu had a gust of 108!!!!!!!! That is a high peak just off the coast........And a brief report about a "bad" fire in Santa Clarita..Damm with this wind any fire will burn until it hits the ocean........I fought the wind all the way across the 40......and the 58........and the 14 last night, but it was nothing like it is now...........Amazingly the Parker race weather was perfect, no wind..........MP

Blowing up 80 MPH in Malibu. Serious fires that have already taken out a Church and other structures. Forecast is for high winds for the next few days. SoCal may have more than it can handle.

The report of 108 was from the weather chanel, Laguna Peak, a high top peak just inland from Pt Mugu, Ca......It is always the windy spot when it blows hard........50-60 MPH Gusts in the Malibu fire area..........MP

2 Fires Shut Down I-15 In Inland Empire
(CBS) DEVORE, Calif. Two fires burning in close proximity to each other have shut down Interstate 15 in both directions at Glen Helen in Devore.
The closure is taking place where Interstate 15 meets the 215 Freeway in San Bernardino County.
Both fires are moving quickly because of windy conditions.
The fire has forced evacuations at the Sheriff's training facility in Glen Helen as well as an off-road raceway.

Ray,
The Simi area must be covered in smoke, from the Castiac fire. Hang in there, and stay inside if possible.

John, I'm sure Simi is socked in as well.........It is almost dark here in Newbury Park. It has done this from smoke before, but nothing like this.............It is not hugging the ground however, seems to be up high in the currents.....Ray

Glad to hear that the smoke isn't laying on the ground. Lived in Simi in the 70's so I know how close you are. Hopefully as night falls the winds will lighten up enough for the fire crews to get a better handle. The area firemen are the best there are, and, as always, they are doing an amazing job.
Again, hang in there.

Actually, when I looked outside about a half hour ago, it looks foggy except with brwoish red halos around the street lights. I suspect that the smoke from the fire in Santiago Canyon has settled up against the North County Hills where I live. It's funky outside.
