My car has a fine layer of ash all over it, and the sun was blood red through the smoke all day long. With the 5 closed, a lot of people were diverting off the 5 onto the Old Road (which runs alongside the 5 through Santa Clarita) which, conviently, is the road I take to school everyday, so there has been tons of traffic. Rumor is that if the fire gets any closer to Castaic (or jumps the 5), it will spread even faster, and school will probably have to close (about 75% of our student population is from Castaic).
I hate fires.
