Sorry, but why would you cancel your trip due to fires that are nowhere near where you’re going? The fires are devastating (my friends brothers house burned down) but you may as well never travel - there’s always something bad happening somewhere.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I am so sorry for your brothers loss and trouble. Devastating. I am in the Santa Barbara area where we often have fires and am stunned that so many homes and structures have burned. Is it the winds or the topography that are making this so deadly? It's just hard to imagine... Again, so sorry for your families troubles.

Definitely no reason to cancel. These fires won't affect your trip in the least. Other than some bad air in SJ, you won't even no anything is going on - and our air in SJ has cleared up considerably.
lynni - One of the major issues has been wind - it fans the flames of course, and embers are flying up to a mile and starting new fires. So instead of a well-defined fire area, it's been hopscotching around. I think that's how it jumped Hwy 101. Normally firefighters have a more than decent chance of holding the line at a major roadway like that, but not this time. And it's super dry with low humidity.

lynni, thank you, but it wasn't my brother - it was my friend's brother. And he was away from home visiting her at the time. His wife was able to evacuate safely with their pets. A friend who lives near Santa Rosa (but not near the fires, yet) said she's heard from 8 people about other people they know who've lost their homes. It's awful.
