Not a good thing. My home away from home is burning. Catalina Fire.

I was out sailing yesterday at Dana Point and we heard someone report a fire on Channel 16 around Long Point about 1 p.m. It had to move a few miles to get to Avalon. Too bad the wind wasn't blowing out to sea, instead of down the island. :(

The Avalon cam atop the Casino is updating now, but of course it no longer has a view of the fire. The other webcam across the harbor still has a view of the plume of smoke.

The Catalina Interior cam at Watchthewater.org has the best view. The fire seems to be about a mile or so northeast of it at about 4:00pm. Lots of white smoke, so it looks like it is nearly out.

edit to add: I just noticed on view #52 that there is now a hot-spot NNW of the webcam that has appeared in the past few minutes. It's not white smoke. One of the frames also shows a helicopter leaving the airport.

Did they evacuate Two Harbors?

Did they evacuate Two Harbors at the Isthmus as well? I checked out the Watch the Water cam over there and the place looks empty as does Avalon except for fire fighters.:confused:

The dates on the Isthmus and Two Harbors webcams show May 10 and have all weekend. That's still Thursday's visitors you're seeing.
