Also I'm practically breathing ash at this point, it's not good.

Sorry to hear that.
Saw it on the news.
I feel sorry for the common folk, but not many of the celebs though.

Paris Hilton was said to be happy that the "wildfire" is spreading around outside, and not on her crotch.

Here are a few images to give you an idea of the size of these fires down here. (Courtesy of News 8, San Diego)







Also overall the state has 18 active fires, 900,000+ people evacuated from their homes, and 2 fires contained. Luckily the winds are supposed to change and blow the fire back over where it has already burned so there won't be much left for it to burn. Also the on-shore flow will help bring humidity up and at the very least give the firefighters a chance to do work.
