The winds where I am are quiet now. They are supposed to whip up later tonight. We don’t know whether our little home will survive the night if the winds get weird. But if they blow like a Santa Ana should to the sea, the front of the fire will double back on itself into the containment area where the fuel is burnt. Also, the conditions differ from the regular first wave of the Santa Ana winds. There is more humidity by five to eight percent, I estimate. Nothing has changed in the Sylvia Park area of Topanga. Fernwood to the west is safe for now, too.
