Simi Valley Fire PIX from my home

My son checking out the fire from my RV/Boat parking.
I've cleared the brush from the 1/2 acre behind my home, but the crack ***** neighbor hasn't, so we're standing by to douse hot embers blowing our way that may touch off her hillside.
Several hot burning embers have landed, but no problems yet..

What kind of roof do you have on your house?

[Casanova]

Tile.
Wet tile as we speak. And a wet boat cover too. (I got priorities)
I'm down to 30 coors lights, 1 gal of Bacardi, a case of pepsi (for the Bacardi, 2 boxes of white zin (with 2 bottles of soda), The cats in the carrier, 50 lbs of ice, a full tank of gas in the truck,,,
Nah it aint that bad,, we'll be ok,, The worst has passed,, for now.

TPC...those are pretty cool pics.....what day were those taken...yesterday or today...just got back earlier from the river....so it was a little tough getting back home...

Thanks for your kind replys.
The burning embers floating down are the big issue, the main fire is quite some distance off now.
My neighbor (the crackwhore) decided to pay the fine rather than clear her hillside of thick brush so it effects me and other neighbors if it ignites.
Lots of burning embers falling, so just in case: I kept the cat in his carrier, Mary (catsmeow) would never forgive me otherwise, and we stood by with the hose.
It's the falling burning embers that get ya, and lots of them.

Still burning embers falling.

I saw the header today (smoke column) it looked like it made some good runs! " Defensible Space " is the key !!
