Fire 2014 Status Morning Update
Surfy Fire Update 8:15 am Thursday May 15.
Top photo shows my view from the coast in Leucadia looking east towards San Marcos.
The scary black smoke is gone. They hit the fires last night with a big DC10 air drop.
The wind is currently calm. It’s actually a nice morning at the beach. Glassy longboard waves.
Ash everywhere. The air smells like smoke and stings the eyes.
Local schools are canceled for the day.
Surfy Surfy Surf Shop and the coffee shop next door are both open today.
Anyone who is displaced by the fire leave a comment. Lots of locals are offering their spare bedrooms.
The Moonlight/Christenson surfboard factory is in the evacuation zone so please no “is my done board done yet?” phone calls today.
The San Marcos fire is also referred to as the Washingtonia Fire or Coco Fire.

May 16, 2014I thought, they’re were fires only in Portugal!!!!
Europe countries always point the finger to Portugal…
Stange that.
But I never, never thought you guys had the same problem!
We have several problems in Portugal, cause of the criminal fire,…
Is that the same origin?
They’re killing “all green” and almost nothing we can do against the elements!
“God Save the firemans”
All the best

May 20, 2014Claudio yes we have the same type of fools here, the way i would handle the problem is when they catch the little SOB’s is to take them off to the fallon islands in Sept and let them go swimming about a 1/2 from the islands, yep that would make someone that was thinking of being a idiot think twice. Peace, taco’s & swimming. Doug
