Fog Blog California Fire Update Log:

CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES AS OF THIS POINT IN NOVEMBER WORST IN LIVING MEMORY ! THE MULHOLLAND HIGHWAY REGION IS BARELY UNRECOGNIZABLE !.....The scale of California’s fires are beyond anything of living memory, and new photos of The Snake, that infamously crash-prone section of the Mulholland Highway, look like they were taken on another planet.Growing up I would see the scars of fires every summer, passing through the foothills of the Coast Range and the Sierras, but even to me these pictures posted by the CHP look uncanny......The death toll from the "Camp Fire" in Northern California increased to 76 on Saturday, while the number of people unaccounted for increased to 1,276. The blaze is now 60 percent contained after consuming more than 149,500 acres.In Southern California, just outside of Los Angeles, the Woolsey Fire is 88 percent contained after burning 96,949 acres. Dense smoke from the fires has been smothering parts of the state with what has been described as "the dirtiest air in the world."
