According to NBC4, mandatory evacs just ordered for Foothill Ranch area.

Just heard from MickeyD. She is fine in Newbury Park. Lots of fires up there but none too close to her. Subject to change without notice.

From the OCFA website:

Originated at Santiago Canyon and Silverado Canyon (Thomas Brothers page 832 A2). Burned through Hicks Canyon toward Jeffery and Portola, now wind-driven in a south-westerly direction along the 241 toll road between Tomato Springs and Limestone Canyon.

From the LA Times website

Quote:

Foothill Ranch's last stand is broken
Firefighters battling the arson blaze racing toward thousands of homes in Foothill Ranch were forced to abandon a mountain peak where they had hoped to make a last stand.

Thirty-foot-tall flames and smoldering embers were bearing down on a Lake Forest neighborhood and residents were evacuating, after fire officials’ pleas for water-dropping helicopters went unanswered.

I called NA right after she posted this. We were interrupted by 5 or 6 (I lost count) phone calls with people calling her with the number. I love this place!

I'll keep you all updated and I told him there is loads of help out there for him. He's incredibly grateful.

Having a beer: I would expect nothing less from him!

I will say that every time I talked to NM, he sounded very calm. Either he is a good actor, or he is taking this well!

This is just such a crazy day!

Via the L.A. Times - google fire map

Thanks for the link. Wow! That's crazy how many fires are going, but the map helped me to figure out exactly where. I wish all the rain that was here last week was heading down your way!

Like I said before... Please be careful and take care of yourselves and each other( like you don't already)!

Ugh. Not good at all.
