We experience wild fires every year in Southern California. What’s unusual about this event is the location and number. Our fires are typically in less populated areas of the mountains that rim the entirety of the LA metro area.
One of the biggest problems with the Rams game is that many of the players and staff live in the area impacted by the fire. As do I. We haven’t had power for two days and it’s sounding very much like we won’t until sometime on Saturday.
With all due respect, it’s a tough situation for sure. Again, I personally LOST MY HOUSE!!! But the current fire is nowhere near SoFi Stadium
Lived at the foot of the Cajon Pass for decades…..tell me about it. Winds are brutal. Be safe!
Thanks….you learn you can get through just about anything.
As far as the current fire goes you’d be surprised how you can be just a few miles from the fire and have almost no idea that anything is happening at all. It’s perfectly calm and sunny at my house this afternoon. If I look out just the right window I can see the smoke plume over the hillside.
Absolutely not. The freeways were all open this morning for the regular commute. Neither fire is near a major freeway
They should. I lost a house to a wildfire some years ago.
The stadium is more or less crosswind from the smoke plume, which blowing out towards the ocean. These events are much more localized than a hurricane or blizzard.
