We have gotten a lot of emails or phone calls wanting to know if the wildfires are affecting us. Thanks to everyone that us thought of us! We are fortunate that we are only affected indirectly. There is a smell of smoke in the air so all school outdoor activities are cancelled this week. Also all of the soccer practices and games were cancelled this week. It seems that the tragic stories are mostly from San Diego. It is so sad to hear of the number of people that have lost their homes. San Diego is about 90-100 miles south of us.
The Google map website show where all of the fires are and the status of containment. Here is a snapshot from earlier today.

From this map you can see that the closest fire to Huntington Beach is the Santiago fire. which is about 34 miles from us.
