Ta, Doug... Wink

...!

Greg Ebnit did an excellent job of the positioning and animation of the fires in various locations dotted around Southern California.
One suddenly comes across them by surprise as one approaches the various areas affected by the fires!

I follow the news of them, year by year, and observe them with the aid of local news, my Flight Sim aircraft, Google Maps, and Wikipedia!

Paul ....The Intrepid Explorer... Cool

Greg Ebnit did a fantastic job on those files... Smiley

...!

As well as the LA Valley area, the fires can also be seen on the north side of Lake Tahoe, on the Cal/Nevada Border
