One more note:
I think that it is worth announcing to people who are watching this from afar that it is very rare indeed for civilians (as opposed to firefighters or military personnel tasked to fire crews) to die in wildland fires in Southern California. If you do what they say, and leave when they say you need to leave, you will almost certainly be safe. The only person I know to have died as a direct result of the fires in the last several days ignored an evacuation order with the thought that he would protect his house with a garden hose. Of course, his death is sad. That said, I worry more about firefighters who have to go get those sorts of folks when they realize that this was a bad plan. The people who run the show here really know what they are doing. I plan to follow their directions. If you are in position to get their directions, you should follow them too.
