The Fire, Day 3

Owl's Head Blown Off by High Winds
The owl on my balcony lost his head this morning or maybe it was yesterday. Everything is topsy turvy. No sense putting it back because the wind is kicking up again. Luckily, no flames here in this paradise though the fire is just 10 miles away. Friends have been evacuated. Friends have lost a home.

Smoke Above Oxnard Today
I bought a membership at Costco and went there to breathe today as the smoke clouds stalled over my house. I bought a bunch of things for an easy dinner and had friends over. They arrived wearing masks. It's that bad. But now that the winds are blowing again the air is much clearer here. But. Those winds are very bad news for the fire.
More Oxnard Smoke
 I am safe. Here is the bulletin from the city of Oxnard: "At this time there is no threat of active fire in the city of Oxnard and the municipal water system is functioning normally, and the water supply is safe to drink."

And I'm all set for a power outage due to the high winds tonight. All devices charged.

Thanks for all of the messages of love and concern. It helps.

Just unbelievable. And so incredibly scary.
