Smoke on the Water

For the last week a thick haze has hung over the water. The listing always has a wonderful ocean breeze, today though, there was smoke on the water. Malibu was burning, but 100% contained and while I was at the open house, I had reports from other agents that Laguna Niguel and Aliso Viejo also had fires. That report turned out to be false hype. My eyes are burning, which is very minor when compared to the people whose homes and businesses are threatened by these fires. The fires burning in San Diego cover the north end county all the way down to the Mexico border. In all of this, it definitely sounds like Qualcomm stadium was the place to be. Reports from the media made it sound more like a resort than an evacuation spot. Al Roker is on the news right now reporting on the winds, and he is standing in front of a table with free cough drops and Visine at Qualcomm. Driving up to Newport Beach shows that the Irvine valley is funneling all of the smoke from Orange County out to the ocean. The peaks of Laguna Canyon have a heavy concentration of smoke as those winds pushed the smoke to critical mass over the last few peaks on the way to the beach.

Now it seems that we've rounded the corner with inbound air support and the firefighters working 24/7 in the Portola Hills and Foothill Ranch area on the Santiago Canyon fire.
