Here Now - Fires

[rusty30]

We arrived Monday and drove to Santa Monica yesterday. The smoke was so bad a lot of locals had face masks. It triggered an asthma attack for me as the air quality is so poor. The winds did dissipate the smoke as the day went on. We went back to Hollywood and the air was a bit better.

We have a helicopter flight booked tonight and the tour company aren’t sure if they can fly. We await an update.

There is a fire north of Beverly Hills / Brentwood right now so it’s smokier
Here than yesterday.

If you are travelling this week and suffer from asthma or other respiratory conditions, bring plenty of meds with you.

Not spoiling our trip (currently in the Cheesecake Factory) but it’s heartbreaking seeing people’s homes on fire and the destruction it’s causing here.
