(New Pics Added 10/24) A Few Pics of the Santiago (Irvine) California Fire

[gollum]

I took these on the way home from work last night. Tough to keep the camera from bouncing around in 50 MPH winds at night. The cars you see in the picture were all leaving the area. Nobody was allowed closer (and I didn't have the big lens at the time).

See the street in front of the fire? That is Irvine Blvd. So..........I guess Irvine is about 50 feet from the fire.

Here are some pics I got today. Some of them are from down in Santiago Canyon, and some are from East of Portola Parkway by Foothill Ranch.

THIS is how close the fire got to the houses:
