Canyon Country fire looks HORRIBLE...

When I was a kid, there were no homes there nor near there... that was where they made “western movies.”

It looks like midnight there from the smoke. I don’t know how to get a screen shot.

I hope my friends got out of there.

We're watching one of the L.A. stations (by the way, I "backdoored" into this thread, so this may be old news), and - having lived there from 1985 thru 2005 I'm amazed at the incompetency of the newsies..."ALL of Canyon Country under mandatory evacuation! ALL 800 people must leave now!!"

I don't know where you are, or when you lived there, but Whites Canyon, from the intersection of Soledad, got extended over to Bouquet Canyon about 8 years ago...being as this was a new road cut, some homes started getting built up there - we're assuming these are the "800 people" being told to get out....if ALL of Canyon Country was being evacuated (some 20,000+ people), it'd be world news and we wouldn't be watching Boston kick Cleveland's ass on TV....)
