Beverly Hills Fire

Fires seem to be following me wherever I work these past two weeks. There was one in the hills above Beverly Hills today, just a series of blocks from KO Creative. Close enough so that when I went out for lunch you could smell and vaguely see smoke coming down the street. Of course it didn't help that there were high winds (for LA) blowing everything around...including a palm branch which almost whacked me in the face while I was walking down the street. People were literally leaning into the wind to walk. This is pretty odd for here.

The winds had also knocked out power to a number of areas. I could see that my power had been off during the day when I arrived home.
