This is a pic taken about 1 PM - the station fire that had spread nest mt Lukens - I have never seen so much smoke billow up so fast. It was like watching time lapse video.
I live on the on the mountains across from the hills on fire - the Station Fire near La Canada.
News coverage is pretty bad, and homes are threatened. Right now two sets of in-laws have evacuated their homes, and are staying with my family.
So far I can't see any homes in the path, it all seems above the homes.
Helicopters are flying past and I think they are on their way to the Altadena Fire.
I will post another picture soon.
UPDATE 3:30 PM
the smoke above Lukens is nothing like before - spread out and not billowing.
Just heard from a neighboor that santa carlotta near briggs got notices to evacuate
here's a pic of pickens I think- you can see the ravines/canyons and a helicopter making a drop.
Copters are now water dropping over the area and are not flying directly to atladena. I haven't seen any planes dropping anything.
UPDATE 6:30
So far houses in La Crescenta , look okay. Lots more fire. Some flare up on Luken, west of the towers. Seeing some planes, but haven't see them drop.
UPDATE 7:42 PM
Houses still look safe, but fires just above. We've heard that Crescenta Valley High School is now an evacuation center. Still seeing more planes, but no drops.
Flames are huge, up the hill pretty much to the top in various spots. In the picture to the left their are hot lines up and above the top left part.
SUNDAY MORNING 7:30 AM
Smoke and fog in the valley makes it impossible to see across hill. News reports say homes in Briggs Terrace and up Ocean View are still okay. Air quality is bad, my eyes hurt, and even indoors it smells like smoke. I'll shoot a photo when a breeze lifts the smoke a little.
SUNDAY past noon 12:28
I can see the homes now. Nice to see the ridges and canyons don't have a ton of smoke or flames. Briggs seems fine.
There is one flare up, that is aggressively be
ing water dropped by helicopters. It is below one the the houses.In the pic to the left, is is in the thick area of smoke, on the right side.

Thanks, this is the best report I've seen on this, and as a Briggs Terrace Resident (evacuated), I appreciate it. One of my neighbors who remained confirms that Briggs terrace homes are safe so far. If you r familiar with Briggs it is the gorgeous custom home adjacent to the "Castle". This seems as good a place as any so anything new that I hear, I'll post here.
Thanks for the updates. I'm trying to rely info to my folks--evacuated Briggs Terrace residents. Every bit of info helps.
You are both welcome.
Fires near briggs/pickes/ocean view looks under control. Mt. Lukens towers on fire now.
I heard that they were letting folks go home in Briggs so at about 8 I went to check it out. Half true. You could walk home from the top of Briggs but not drive. I didn't need my hardrive that bad, so I left. But the takeaway for me was that this fire looked essentially over. After several nites of hills looking like volcanos, all u see now is smoke. And all the people looked very relaxed, sauntering up Shields, or doing yard work or drinking beer on the sidewalk. Relieved, that's how everyone looked.
I have always been curious about functionality in websites and, well, the world in general. I read this article with great interest. It does seem to me that the reason we comment is to speak our minds so why not have the comment field first? However, as others have pointed out, one gets used to the conventions regardless of reason.
