Southern California Fires
Published by Gail (blogspot) October 28th, 2003 in Linkage
My friend Lisa is caught in the middle of the fires raging in Southern California at the moment.
She says they’re tense, but coping. Freeways, schools, county offices, and many stores are closed and ash covers everything. The air quality is terrible and she says they have to wear masks even though they don’t make much difference. They’ve packed up their things so they can evacuate if necessary. They’re suffering from headaches, sore throats, and burning eyes. She says the authorities think they’ll have the fire north of them contained by Saturday, the one south by Nov. 4.
