I just wanted to say thank you to all those people who contacted me to see how I was doing and kept the communities of those afflicted by the fire in their prayers.

The reports say that the fire is rapidly approaching my community in Santa Clarita but hopefully if the winds keep south like they were last night, it will keep it away and help the containment effort. I'm at UCLA right now which is an hour from any fire but the air is still horrible. Plans as of the moment are to go home this weekend so hopefully all will be good by then and hopefully they won't have to evacuate.

I don't know if this was the picture that Sanddrag was talking about but it's another eerie picture nonetheless.

edit: I inserted the picture but it turned out being huge and I didn't know how to make it smaller but here's the link: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Nat...003299_lrg.jpg
