Bobcat Fire 9-13


 Yesterday morning the smoke was so thick it permeated our house and was much worse outside.  This is yesterday's morning sun framed by eucalyptus branches.  Thankfully, the air cleared by late afternoon and we actually saw blue sky! The sky was clear enough to see the huge tanker jets making their east over the fire area and then circle back.  The fire has been burning since September 6 and has burned over to Chantry Flat.  The fire is only 6% contained and is going to be with us for a while.  Thankfully, we have had a break in the super hot weather and the highs this week are supposed to be near 90 or a little above.  That's a bit higher than the historic average September highs for Pasadena, which is 89.

Bobcat Fire


 View looking toward East Pasadena taken from the office building at Colorado and Wilson.  The smoke has been exceptionally heavy particularly in the morning.  Smells like a camp fire.  This photo looks like an old time sepia.  Unfortunately, the photo is untouched.  To the right, I have reprised a post I did about the Chantry Flat fire that occurred in 2008 and threatened East Pasadena.
