How have the California wildfires affected you?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yesterday I saw the one in LA, I’m not sure what it’s called but I was in the freeway and it was all red and foggy. I live close to the Tujunga one, the only problem I have is that the big airplane that gets water is very noisy, and I’m trying to go to sleep. But the fire has also made the mountain view kind of foggy, the pieces of ash still haven’t found their way into our yard. But that’s all for now.
