California is on Fire

[s0urce]

It's been so ridiculously hot the past few days, and as most of you probably know. We're having a lot of fires right now.

I decided to snap a few pics from the roof of my condo today. There is not a single cloud in the sky today. What you see is smoke. These columns of smoke reach approximately 20,000 feet into the sky. Pretty amazing sight.

Air quality is Los Angeles is absolutely terrible now.

Usually you can see past the hollywood hills here and see another set of hills in the distance. That would be the La Cresenta area. It's totally engulfed in smoke atm.

Thats just amazing! Stay safe.

I don't envy you. Thought's go out to all the guys in the San Fernando/San Gabriel foothills. I know how bad it is, and hope ya'll stay safe.

"The hills of Los Angeles are burning"

Yeah, here in Santa Barbara it's pretty much one big fire a year--bad times. Hang in there, it'll die down eventually. Until then get a respirator or something. :p

Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of blue
St. Anne's skirts are billowing
But down here in the city of limelights
The fans of Santa Ana are withering
And you can't deny the living is easy
If you never look behind the scenery
It's Showtime for dry climes
And bedlam is dreaming of rain

When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is burning

This is not a test
of the emergency broadcast system
When Malibu fires and radio towers
Conspire to dance again
And I cannot believe the Media Mecca
They're only trying to peddle reality
Catch it on Prime Time
Story at nine
The whole world is going insane

When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is Burning

A placard reads "the end of days"
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze
More a question than a curse
How could hell be any worse
The flames are stunning
The cameras running
So take warning!

When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the MURDER wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is burning

^^Perfect song for the thread..^^
Can't wait till october and all the heat goes away.
But, luckily San Jose doesn't get fires that close to us! :D

Even when I was there a few weeks ago it seemed like the air was shittier than normal.
