Simi Fire Update

There's not much new in the official news category. Before going to bed last night I called some friends over in the Tapo Canyon area and invited them here if they need to evacuate but they had not heard anything at that point.

The Star has been doing a pretty good job of getting news reports out... but I haven't found anyone else covering Ventura County. According to a report this morning 47,000 acres have been burned.

Sarah was out a couple hours ago and went up 23 to Tierra Rejada where she had to exit and drive west. She indicated that the fire is burning on the ranches on the south side of Tierra Rejada, which would put the fire less than a mile from the Reagan Library.

KCLU (88.3 FM) has been doing full time coverage this morning. Someone just called in from Box Canyon and indicated that they can see fire up in the Santa Susana Pass area. There have also been some reports about a release of Chlorine gas in Moorpark.
