As we watched the Topanga Canyon, CA fire rage last night, we had already packed and prepared to evacuate. We got the word around 7PM the we need to get out. Big Yellow fired right up and was taken to a friend's enclosed garage a few miles away and was covered and safely stored. We finished grabbing a few clothes and the computers and took off as we saw the hills surrounding our house seriously ablaze! ABC was doing live news from the cross street by our house! By 10PM, the winds had shifted and we were able to return. The house was not smoky as we did not loose power as I had left the A/Cs running. This morning, all is clear and we can see from our bedroom window just how close the fire was to us - about 300 yards (270 m). The fire crested the ridges behind our house! The CA local and state governments and especially the fire departments in the state (crews were here from all over CA) were well prepared and worked efficiently and correctly and are to be commended!
