i just woke up to a very smokey smell. when i looked outside, this is what i saw. i don’t know if the picture shows it well, but there’s a huge cloud of smoke covering the hillsides and ash is falling everywhere. i can’t find any info on the internet on it, and i don’t have cable to check the local news. i’ll try radio next, but does anyone have any info on what’s happening? the smell is really strong inside the house, even with all the doors and windows closed.

update: i heard that the fire as above cal poly, near the big “P” on the hill. doesn’t sound like any structures were damaged. there have been a lot of helicopters flying around and dumping on it, but i think its mostly out since most of the smoke is gone now.
