We have so much SMOKE coming from so many directions not to include all the back fires that are being set. The skies are brown and the sun is all but choked out.
Found out early this morning that the area I live in is ON ALERT !
The SDCFD is predicting that the fire could jump I-15 at Deer Springs Rd which will affect Valley Center and the surrounding areas. Depending upon how bad the winds kick up tonight will depend upon how fast the fires spread.
The fires are drawn up from the ground into a vortex 30' or so in the sky. Quite scarey watching the fires, how fast they spread and the micro cyclones that are created.

I work in Canoga Park and the fire (Simi Valley) is probably less then 10 miles away from my building. We can actually see the flames from our windows...... In any case... I have a feeling that I'm taking tomorrow off.....
