Hollywood Hills Fire (a near miss...)

OK, so we had some excitement tonight. Oliver and I were playing on the couch when the entire room turned red/orange. My first thought was: "ooh, pretty sunset!" so Oliver and I ran to the window to see a huge plume of smoke rising above the canyon to the west of us.

We were glued to the local news for a half hour or so when it all of a sudden went to Nat'l News and we could not see what was happening with the fire. Very Frustrating! We continued to watch the smoke over the hill and Oliver got a kick out of the water dropping helicopters flying right over our rooftop. OK, Oliver could care less, but his Dad's got a kick out it. Click below to read more about the fire from an article I tore off the LA Times Website:

This is just a little bit too close for comfort Joe :( Those pictures look nasty. I'm sure all that smoke did not help the air quality. I'm glad you were all together when it happened though. It would have been hard to have Chris and Oliver so close to the danger and you away from them. Love to you all!! Be safe!

We didn't have too much smoke as it all went up and over the hill and into the Valley. From what I heard, everyone in the Valley could smell it. Location, location, location.
