WHAT A WILD SEVERAL WEEKS! Above is a NASA visible satellite picture from Oct. 23rd showing the massive smoke plumes going hundreds of miles off shore into the Pacific. The strong Santa Ana winds are a major reason why these fire got so out of control.

Sean McLaughlin was sent to cover the fires and we spent all week doing special reports and making special graphics that I put on air every night while filling for Sean. After working two straight weeks of weekends and weeknights continuously it will be good to have a break.

Be Safe,

Steve
