SoCal Fires

I saw Aunt Moonies house on a live feed from the KTLA copter this morning. So far it's still standing but the fire is getting close and I did not see any firefighting equipment in the neighborhood. Although it was admittedly a quick shot.

Remember, they choose those shots to make it seem as dire a situation as possible. They know how to play clever tricks with angles and zoom to make the first look closer than it is.

Generally yes, but in this case I was watching the raw feed where they were basically flying around looking for the "right" angle. The fire was coming down the Mtn towards a house at the end of their street.

Red Line = Fire
Green Circle = Aunties House.
