Safe and Sound

Nov 13/2018  Weather high of 72, low 59, sunny.  Fall weather in the desert.  Feels good to us.  Coffee pot outside at 9 am.  Good way to start the day.
We have been watching the news about the fires in Southern California.   Thankyou everyone for asking if we are out of harms way.  Yes we are.   I have shown in the map where we are and where the fires are.
 The Thousand Oaks/Malibu fire is about 200 miles and the Paradise/Camp fire is about 500 miles.  It is extremely dry in California with no humidity and warm.
Red dots are the 2 huge fires, we are the blue dot
  The Santa Anna winds make it very dangerous.  If any fire starts it will be out of control.  The SA winds have been up a couple of days this week and they certainly fuel and spread any fire.  The winds hit some areas with close to 90 mph gusts, and remained for hours at a constant 40 to 50 mph.  How the firefighters can cope is unimaginable. It is truly horrific to watch the fires on TV.
