Update in regards to the western part of the Grand Prix fire:

Currently, it's sitting in the mountains above San Dimas and Glendora, in the area burned by our Curb fire. It's still there, producing smoke which has made the sky here have an eerie grey-yellow shade. However, it's not threatening anything at the moment; it's just lurking.

If the Santa Ana winds come back, we're in deep doo-doo, as the one major canyon which did /not/ get burned in the Curb fire is right below the Grand Prix fire. However, so long as we don't have wind, we don't have fire down here.

There are almost no firefighters deployed up there, except for one team who is just keeping an eye on the fire and making sure it doesn't head southward.

At the moment, the areas of La Verne/San Dimas/Glendora are not in danger, although we're again breathing smoke (this must've been the smoke I started to smell again last night). Yuck. I was so happy to /not/ be smelling smoke yesterday afternoon/early evening, too!

We had a burn a few years ago here in Arcadia, I think Winter 2000, but it has had enough time to grow back. Hopefully it stays calm before it can decide to jump to Duarte, Monrovia, Arcadia, Pasadena.

Thank,Ladypixel. I'm watching this one in particular especially for turns to the south.

No one outside CA has yet to hear from relatives in Chino Hills. I'm really torn on this one -- praying for their safety (& all freepers & freeper's loved ones in SoCal), and ready to kill them for not calling anyone!
