San Diego: looking out over Miramar landfill & Marine Air Station. More smoke. This picture is about 4 miles from my house, and there was some minor charing here. This is where the fire suddenly stopped on Sunday as the winds gusting up to 50 mph died. The flames were advancing at about 10-20 mph, and moving in an errant pattern, similar to a tornado.
