I think that both Rich and I -- are to busy listening and watching the Fire Storm. The first night -- LA City Fire was on the line. Just about all 18 frequencys in use plus a few air to ground. The Sylmar area was hit hard and fast. LA City, USFS and LA County all working. Then the next day it was the Corona area on the Riverside / Orange county line that was hit and then on into the Green River area and Carbon Canyon area of Orange County. Lack of water and crews didn't help. Radio traffic was very active. 3 full days of around the clock communications. It was 51 degrees in Seattle and in the low 90's in and around the LA - Orange county area. The smoke sometimes blocked out the sun. Add the 3 or 4 good football games on TV, both yesrterday and today -- and it was a great weekend in a place -- some where in between heaven and hell. Sort of Like living in the Twilight Zone.
