Various updates on the fires here in Southern California...
It's now reported that there are 10 separate fires burning in California.
Visible smoke in SoCal... 
One of the NOAA sites has a live image (which is dark right now). Here's one I captured Sunday afternoon.
See the satellite page for the National Weather Service (Western Region) for more views.
Doc Searls has been watching some of the affects up the coast in Santa Barbara and pointed to some coverage.
I've found some additional coverage at the Ventura County Star (as I've been pointing out, they are doing a pretty good job with scarce resources). With the Simi Valley fire now spilling east into LA County, the valley based Daily News will probably jump into the act. See @LA News for more information on SoCal news sources.
The Simi fire is now over 80,000 acres and I have heard reports putting it as high as 90,000. With all of that, the fire down south in San Diego County sounds much more out of control and dangerous.
The Times has a pretty nice flash based grouping of a few local pictures. You can access it here at the LA Times and on KTLA's mirror.
Finally, various sources are reporting that the Monday Night Football game is being moved to Arizona (from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego).
