Fire+Wind = Crazy Smoke Photos

I'm sure you have heard all about the fires here in So. Cal. and I don't have any new information, except that today was the first day the winds started to slow and the smoke has settled in the Valley. It's quite erie - the sky is brown and thick and the sun is orange and dark.

I found these satellite photos online and I think they give a good idea of how widespread and fast growing these fires have been.

The stream at the bottom right of the photo is actually dust from the deserts in Mexico. That's how strong these Santa Ana winds are!
