Hey MToddy, I have noticed a bug that I have not seen before and they look like little moth's but skinny and maybe 3/8" long. I have a bug zapper in the yard that gets most of them. Is that what it looked like?

Walking out of Vons , I noticed a ton of flying bugs congregating around the lights (I'm sure a number of them are flying inside) -- are those mayflies? They weren't mosquitoes, but looked like winged silverfish.

SCM .... Yeah I just wanted to mention it here in case people were wondering why not much is happening in our area... Yeah, the Canyon Fire really started to take off (1K acres in a couple of hours).... Gold Fire is doing pretty good in comparison

Well stated, SCM!

@McToddy - Yes, they shifted a lot of aircraft over to the Canyon Fire. Most of the aircraft on the Canyon came from the Gifford Fire near Santa Maria. Its like a game of Whac-A-Mole.

Interesting.... The Canyon Fire is on the CalFire map for the Gold Fire -- just scroll to the west.

Evac Warning & Evac Order and the fire footprint and tracking of some of the air assets are visible in the map

Looks like air assets for the Gold Fire may have shifted to the Canyon Fire in Ventura County, east of Lake Piru

I came up here after living in Moreno Valley 30 years. You mountain folk don't know how good you have it no matter where you live
