The past month here in Southern California. has been unusually hotter than it is even usually. When Christop visited we we ai th e high 90's to 102. Since he left the temps have been as high as 114 . It was 112 yesterday and to make matters worse there was a power failure in our area shutting down me and 462 other homes. Power went pout at 0500 and didn't come back on until 1800 hours last evening.
To make matters worse we live in Coto de Caza which is a suburb of Trabuco Canyon. Yesterday at noon a wild fire broke out in the wooded art of the canyon 3-4 miles from us and as of this morning over 2000 acres have been gutted of woodland. The adjacent 3 communities closest to the fire underwent a mandatory evacuation. This morning the fire is still raging but remains away from us due too the direction of the winds. Our skies are flooded. with water dropping planes and fire retardants.
Here is what we saw yesterday from my car as we have our son's dog who was panting from the heat. WE went for a drive to a local air-conditioned area and took the photos
