So far, the fire hasn't crossed the PCH and the winds have decreased a bit. Let's all hold good thoughts for the people involved, especially the firefighters.

How close are the fires to Gull's Way this time?

Oh my God! I hope it doesn't go much further. That would put a major damper on the trip next year!  Here are some photos:  NASA Photo  Mapquest Image: The house is actually south of the star...close to the ocean. You can see the driveway circle if you look hard.  From KTLA: you can see how close the fires are!  Links: KTLA: Southland Fires ktla.trb.com/news/local/special2/KABC: abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=local&id=5719540 |

The estate is still bit to the right of your last image, can that be, Long Ago Girl? In fact it's not in the picture. Still, too close! I'm so sorry for all the people living there!

As of this morning, here's what KTLA had to say:
"Fire crews appeared to have the upper hand today on the 4,400-acre wildfire near Malibu, and about 500 firefighters there were dispatched to other fire zones, authorities said.
As of 9:45 a.m., no smoke was visible above the Malibu coast and nothing in the area was actively burning, said Ed Schaefer of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Some 1,400 firefighters were assigned to the fire last night, said Inspector Ed Osorio of the county fire department. That number had been reduced to 900 as of mid-morning today."
So it's sounding good for our favorite estate, but let's not forget the rest of Southern California and all the people involved in the other fires.

I feel so bad for those in SoCal. I'm watching on the news how people are living in the San Diego Chargers' stadium. Reminds me of Katrina...

I've just read that new fires have spread up in Malibu and that 49 houses have been destroyed. Does anyone have any information on the exact location of the fires?
