As expected, it’s worse today.
One of the big problems is the Santa Ana winds that are blowing and spreading the fires.
The winds were expected to let up last night, but they didn’t as much as expected.
It’s hoped that they will let up later today.
When I woke up this morning I saw there was an evacuation zone near Catholic Answers. I’m not sure what that is at this point, as the map is not showing fire in that area, and they haven’t mentioned it on TV.
BTW, I did a brief phone interview with Vatican Radio about the fires yesterday. MP3 here.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

As if Catholic Answers didn’t have enough dangers to deal with already in California. Our prayers are with you.
Saints Florian and John of God are patrons of fire fighters. Might I suggest invoking their intercession?
