Good. Was it you who said at some point this afternoon that those hideous photos at Stevenson Ranch were hyped, that they had made the shots look more ominous and closer to the homes than they actually were? That provided me some comfort when I saw the TV coverage with the headline STEVENSON RANCH and that mountain of flame.

yes, those building codes up there are really strict with fire breaks, etc.
plus LA City Fire and LA County Fire have 200 engines in case something did happen.... a lot of public safety officials in Socal live in that neighborhood....
the news stations keep the FIRESTORM banner and use the camera angles to make you keep tuning in....my brother lives about four miles from that area....I know it well....
Now, if it was hotter with high Santa Ana winds, that might be a different story
