    *sigh* Why did I ever move away from Santa Barbara? Not a cloud passed over it during that entire video...

    @Gordonium: I live in Santa Barbara. Honestly, the weather is so perfect here that it has become absolutely boring. I miss Denver and it's unpredictability!

    @wickemu: Yeah, I grew up in the Southeast, and the weather is absolutely insane. Then I moved to New England, where they say, "Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes; it'll change." Then I moved to SB, and it was pretty fantastic. The complete lack of "weather" got old, but now that I live back in the Southeast, I definitely miss the eternal sunshine (and the surfing!). Ah well... at least now I have seasons again.

    I'd like to put in a word in support of humanity. People always seem to want to put us in our place, just because we are so very small. Every new discovery or fresh perspective is a chance to remind us that we don't really matter.

    Well I think we're a pretty big deal. In fact, if aliens came to visit our solar system, I think we'd be first on the list of things to check out, way ahead of other neat stuff like Jupiter or whales or weather.

    Be proud humanity, you matter!

    Since everybody's posting pictures, here's one I took Sunday from Runyon Canyon trail. You can see fire on the hill beyond the Hollywood sign.

    It has been smelling awful ever since last weekend and I live in the in the northwest corner of the valley. Pretty shitty all around with the ash on my car and the gloomy red sun poking through the smoke.

    @Mad as a Hatter: Yeah, sorry about that. Looks like the greasemonkey script for gawker comments finally outlived its usefulness. I hit submit, didn't get a preview of the post, nor did the submit button change color. So I thought it was my browser lagging and hit it again. Refreshed the page, didn't see my post, hit the button again, and ... now we're here.

    I live in Altadena a few blocks from the fire's edge. What's amazing to me is that the smoke plumes are so large that they are actually creating their own thunderheads. You can see them in the sat photo, those two white spots above the smoke. Those are clouds, not smoke, created by the rising heat of the fire. What's absolutely crazy is that these thunderheads are starting to generate dry lightning. It's like the fire has grown so large that it is now self-aware, and trying to spawn offspring asexually. No matter, the impending hurricane will come and put it all out. Natural Disaster Battle! (next reality show?)

    @ShikhaTriarius: I saw that white cloud from Burbank. There's even a name for it, if I remember right it's "pyrocumulus." I'm sure I heard thunder late yesterday afternoon.
