Fire coverage
There's lots of great writing about the Santa Anita Canyon fire out there. The blogs are doing great work!
On Foothill Cities, there's a link to flickr photos as well as instant commentary by affected residents.
There's this comment from APOA on the site as well:
Everyone has contributed and has done a great job of covering all the aspects of the fire. A comment was left on Frazgo’s LA Met site about getting more info from the local blogs than from the AP Wire…
Other sites include 91024, Aaron Proctor, Frazgo on Metblogs 2020hindsight, and Monrovia City Watch. Additonally, the Star-News will have updates periodically during the day here.
Here's a link to the SN photo gallery.
Finally there's this snippet of an email I received comparing this weekend's fire to the Altadena/Sierra Madre fire in 1993.
Here's the letter:
Too scary; looks like it could come all the way across the mountains again like the Altadena fire.
Excuse the confusing changes in fonts, I'm using an Apple today and it automatically formats the entries.
Obviously, I'd like to know what your experiences of the fire are, and if there's any links I've missed here, feel free to put em up in the comments section.

Frank, great story! Please ask Jude Lopez about changing her son's name and having her son's call their father by another name "Gene" that's the real story! Why are you avoiding the elephant in the room!

Thanks for the props, Frank. People like Foothill Cities and Frazgo and 91024 are doing great work.
Just goes to show we're not all so snarky after all :-)
